When you support the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, you support bringing arts and cultural programming to Louisianans not only at The Helis Foundation John Scott Center but at the museums, libraries, and other cultural organizations in your own community.

Your support helps keep art programs, history lectures, museum exhibits, educational programs, and more alive - and thriving - across Louisiana.

We were proud to stand with Louisiana's arts community for Louisiana Arts Day at the Capitol this week! While helping to advocate for the collective impact of our state's cultural economy, we were also able to share stories about the impact of our own The Helis Foundation John Scott Center and 64 Parishes magazine in celebrating Louisiana artists, as well as LEH's support of the cultural sector, with visitors and legislators. Thanks to the Louisiana Partnership for the Arts for hosting!
