Art Rocks: Nick Bustamante
to
Statewide Baton Rouge, Louisiana

On Art Rocks! Friday, September 21 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, September 22 at 5:30 pm, we meet Ruston, Louisiana painter Nick Bustamante, who uses surrealism to tell stories that harken the passage of time. Filipino-Americans in Tampa Bay, Florida celebrate their culture through dance; we visit with some of the talented performers. Plus, take a tour with us of the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum in Shreveport. Its dioramas depict how people in Louisiana have lived over the centuries, from Native Americans at Poverty Point to farmers in the early 20th century.
