Riffs: Sandy Dokka, administrative assistant and curator, Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge

“I am very excited about the current growth of the arts in Baton Rouge. My personal calendar is filled with art openings, events and new opportunities to be part of the booming arts community. What has been most interesting to me is that the arts have transcended exhibitions and performances to become a larger part of the civic community in Baton Rouge. The more we integrate the diverse sectors of our arts community, the tighter-knit we will become as a city. Out-of-the-box thinking and collaboration can only create more opportunities for growth.”
