Tour & Creative Writing Activity Tour & Creative Writing Activity Join us for Creative Connections, a program that invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and explore art through guided creative experiences. No experience needed—just curiosity.
Our first session highlights sculptor Frank Hayden, whose work reflects themes of humanity, faith, and connection. Hayden often wove scripture, prayer, and poetry into his process, creating sculptures that explore connection, memory, and the shared human experience.
Callie Smith, LSUMOA Educator and Public Programs Manager, will lead a brief tour of Hayden’s sculptures before participants are led through a guided writing exercise by Julie Gerdes Becnel, a Louisiana-born writer and storyteller whose work spans multiple genres. Inspired by Hayden’s motifs of hands, faces, and layered forms, Julie’s writing session invites participants to reflect on what they’ll carry into 2026, and what they’ll let go. Limited to 15 people. Ages 16+ only. Pre-registration required to attend.
