Southern Palette: Food & Drink Experience is made possible through the extraordinary generosity and belief of our sponsors, whose leadership investments are helping bring this vision to life. Their commitment to excellence, education, and community ensures that this inaugural celebration reflects the very best of Baton Rouge and the South.

We are deeply grateful to the members of the Friends of the LSU Museum of Art Board and the Museum’s Advisory Board for their strategic guidance, advocacy, and hands-on support. Their leadership continues to strengthen the Museum and expand its impact.

We also thank the many friends and ambassadors who are sharing Southern Palette across social media and throughout their networks. Your enthusiasm is building momentum in powerful ways.

Finally, we extend sincere appreciation to our downtown partners whose collaboration and hospitality are helping transform our city center into a vibrant gathering place for food, culture, and connection.

Together, you are shaping something truly meaningful for our community.
