From the series Echoes by Nick Bustamante.

On Art Rocks! Friday, May 1 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, May 2 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.

Hosted by James Fox-Smith of Country Roads Magazine, Art Rocks! is LPB’s weekly series that spotlights artists, performance, culture, literature, history and the impact of art in our world. It features Louisiana stories, as well as segments from across the country. Current and past episodes are here: pb.org/artrocks.
