40th Annual Gala—"Puttin' On The Ritz: A Centennial Celebration"

Make a lasting centennial impact!

Step into the glitz and glamour of the 1920s and join us for a night of fundraising at Baton Rouge’s favorite and longest-running party for a purpose!

Generational Impact

"LASM has been a part of my world since I was little. I love that these are some of my first memories. Volunteering at LASM engages both my art and science sides and allows me the opportunity to see curiosity in the eyes of children and adults."
– Dr. Rebecca Bartlett, LASM’S 40th Annual Gala Co-Chair
"When our son was young, we went to the museum almost every weekend. There were so many opportunities for him to learn, grow, and shine! We are proud members, volunteers, and supporters of our fabulous crown jewel right here in Baton Rouge."
— Kay Gaudin, LASM’S 40th Annual Gala Co-Chair
