Something seems a little… off around here. 👀👻

We’ve had a few unexpected visitors spotted around the Shaw Center and The River Terrace lately. Not sure what they’re doing here just yet, but we have a feeling October 30 has something to do with it.

🎬 We had the best time hosting a pajama party celebrating the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival (BRUFF) right here at the Shaw Center.

Here's the fun part: did you know nonprofits and schools in East Baton Rouge Parish can get up to $4,000 to host their own arts & cultural events in our venue? 👀 This one was made possible through the Charles Lamar Family Foundation Shaw Center Subsidy Grant, available via the Arts Council to 501(c)(3)s, schools, colleges, and universities hosting a performing arts event at the Shaw Center.

Got an idea brewing? Applications are accepted year-round — just apply at least 2 months ahead of your event. Link in bio for details, and swipe to see the fun ➡️
