ABOUT

The Arts and Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana has provided support and assistance to area cultural and educational agencies and efforts for over twenty-eight years. In order to improve service to all constituents, the Council launched the Annual Gold Key Quest to provide funding for existing and innovative new opportunities for area artists, presenters and organizations.

The Council endeavors to support and enhance programming in culture, recreation and tourism in Southwest Louisiana. This year, the Council will be partnering to provide the 2008 Bolton Cultural Economy Grant to The Energy Museum to be built in Jefferson Davis Parish! In years to come, the Cultural Economy Grant will be shared with Allen, Beauregard, Cameron, and returning to Calcasieu Parish in 2012. This grant evolved in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita and will provide needed funding for specific projects planned for cultural, educational and heritage programming. By attracting visitors to Southwest Louisiana, we can share our unique culture and strengthen our economy!

Additional grants funding and operational dollars will be utilized to infuse new energy and expand the possibilities for the Council and the many entities supported through our efforts. You $100 investment will help make programming possible on a new level, benefiting area youth, our seniors and families throughout the Southwest Louisiana Region.
