A little about Kara Crowley! She is an artist who embraces Black culture through social issues and positive presentation through her own artistic interpretations. Kara's time with @YAYA_inc and at Xavier University of Louisiana molded her into the artist she is today and inspired her to become an arts educator. She currently teaches visual arts at St. Augustine High School. Kara's work, "Exertion," is on view in Ogden Museum's current exhibition, "Louisiana Contemporary," presented by The Helis Foundation. This work is the inspiration for Kara's MLK Day art activity, and it's the image used in Ogden Museum's MLK Day Celebration event materials.

Tune in tomorrow at noon for Kara's takeover, and join us on Monday as we use art to imagine a world without racism! Admission to Ogden Museum will be free and there will be a scavenger hunt at the Museum. In addition, we have 8 presentations available online on MLK Day, including Kara's!
