A MESSAGE FROM THE DDD
NEW ARTS CENTER UNDERWAY
Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge is renovating a former governmental office building at 233 St. Ferdinand Street into a community arts center and the organization's new home. Shell has invested $300,000 in the ACGBR's new Cary Saurage Community Arts Center. These funds will support the Shell Gallery, an art exhibition and meeting space open to individuals, schools and organizations throughout the Capital Region and beyond. The project is being financed by the Capital Area Finance Authority (CAFA). Construction is underway and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2021.


The new Arts Center joins several nearby cultural attractions and assets, all located within the Central Green including the new River Center Library, River Center Theatre (currently under renovation), the Old State Capitol, LASM, and the Shaw Center for the Arts.
