to
West Baton Rouge Museum 845 North Jefferson Avenue, Port Allen, Louisiana 70767
Drop yourself deep into the rich and distinctly Louisiana heritage of Creole culture during the West Baton Rouge Museum's free, five-day "camp" this month. From 9 am–4 pm, workshops will introduce participants to Louisiana Creole folktales, art, and storytelling—in large part through the exhibitions Kont Kréyol-yé (Creole Folktales) and Radbwa ê tire tik-layé: The Art of Jonathan Mayers. Each morning Creole language activist (and former American Idol contestant) Clif St. Laurent will lead immersion lessons, and each afternoon, students will meet and learn from culture bearers, artists, writers, and researchers. 9 am–4 pm each day.
