About Louisiana Contemporary, presented by The Helis Foundation 

Ogden Museum of Southern Art launched Louisiana Contemporary, presented by The Helis Foundation, in 2012 as an annual juried exhibition celebrating artists living in Louisiana and showcasing the vitality of artistic practice across the state. Now marking its 15th anniversary, the exhibition has featured work by more than 650 artists since its inception, establishing Louisiana Contemporary as a significant moment on the national arts calendar that recognizes and celebrates the breadth of creative voices emerging from New Orleans and arts communities throughout Louisiana.
