A visually stunning, 93,000 square foot visual arts facility, where creativity is celebrated as visual artists come face to face with the public to share in the fascination and excitement of the creative process. Louisiana ArtWorks creates an infrastructure for the growth of the creative industry by providing needed workspace and equipment for artists, while attracting the public as a premier cultural destination.

The mission of Louisiana Artworks is to inspire artistic growth, enhance technical skills, and provide marketing and economic development for Louisiana artists in a unique arts environment, while offering the public opportunities to see, enjoy, and explore the processes involved in the creation of the visual and applied arts.

In 1995 the Arts Council of New Orleans, a 25 year non-profit designated by the City of New Orleans as the official local arts agency, created the Louisiana Artists Guild, a separate 501 C(3) organization, to develop the concept and provide fudiciary responsibility addressing the identified need of a visual arts incubator that could be a nexus for creative work, education, exhibitions and marketing.
