A recent grant funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) was awarded to highlight the art departments of two prominent historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the south. With support from this newly announced NEA grant, the Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC) is working with Grambling State University and Southern University Shreveport Louisiana (SUSLA) to facilitate an exhibition series documenting and celebrating the schools’ alumni artists.
