Why Support LASM?

"LASM is a bridge between curiosity and knowledge for the thousands of visitors who walk through its doors each year. Seeing the impact of their STEAM initiatives firsthand reminds me why community support is so vital. We aren't just funding exhibits… We are investing in the next generation of Louisiana’s thinkers and creators." 

- Darian Graivshark, LASM’S 41st Annual Gala Co-Chair 

"My love of art, history, and science began in museums, where childhood visits sparked a lasting sense of wonder and ultimately shaped my career. Those early moments of discovery stayed with me and continue to influence how I see the world today. LASM carries that same spirit—bringing extraordinary exhibitions and educational experiences to our community and inspiring the next generation through curiosity and creativity." 

- Rachel Guidroz, LASM’S 41st Annual Gala Co-Chair
