Evacuees from South Louisiana and artists and organizations from across North Louisiana were greeted by locals Monday at Artspace. The room was crowded. There was a hopeful vibe in the air as artists and producers were introduced to each other.
Jennifer Akers and Scott Green of the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra were among the arts groups who set up info booths. "The SSO concert this weekend was marvelous," said Akers. "Michael Butterman is so All-American, such an effective conductor and a neat guy."
Pam Atchison and the SRAC staff, including Duane Rousseau, Alicia Smith, Jennifer Azel, Ariej Alexander and more, turned Artspace into an arts wholesale center.
The Pamoja Society drum circle energized the crowd. Beats tapped out by Saladin El-Amin, Spencer Stephens, Ron Hardy and friends sparked a crew of dancers. Said one of the dancers, North Central Louisiana Arts Council's Genevieve Ress, "I've always been a dancer. This was a terrific moment in the meeting!"
