The Bossier Arts Council is dedicated to reexamining what the arts mean in today’s culture, where they stand amidst our busy lives, and how they impact our community.  Our programming reflects this desire to apply arts in our daily lives and “promote, support, and provide cultural activities in Bossier Parish.”

Through long standing traditions of presenting art through our East Bank Theatre and East Bank Galleries to brand new programming such as DigiFest and the Budding Artist Association, we provide a range of artistic experiences, so that the arts are not only preserved but thriving for future generations. Our programming is as varied as our community.

By becoming a member you are shaping our future. You are providing much needed funds to expand our existing programming.  In addition , you are joining us in the quest to define the arts.   If we want theatre, music, visual arts, and arts organizations to exist and enhance our culture, then we should support these events by being engaged in our programs. 

Be a part of the Bossier Arts Council arts revolution by becoming a member.  We are not only changing the way people in our community think about art, but we are changing how our community value and experiences art
