Hilliard Cultural Arts Museum

Featuring Works from the Permanent Collection

Explore the groundbreaking work of twenty women photographers whose images redefined visual storytelling and shaped photography as one of the twentieth century’s most powerful artistic and cultural mediums.

A Shreveport native, Patterson brings more than fifteen years of work to Persistent Vision, his first museum exhibition in his home state. He works in bronze and steel, weaving African diasporic motifs together with the improvisational language of jazz.

Presented by the Emory Family

The decade that landed a man on the Moon also filled American kitchens with Formica, and both were sold as the future. Jackson builds his paintings, furniture, and sculpture from that promise, setting them inside a steel frame that opens three rooms of a home.

Presented by Festivals Acadiens et Créoles in collaboration with the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and Center for Louisiana Studies

In the summer of 1976, as the country celebrated its Bicentennial, the Smithsonian’s Festival of American Folklife brought Cajun and Creole musicians to the National Mall as recognized bearers of national heritage. Louisiana artist Elemore Morgan Jr., was there with his camera to capture them.
