Best of 225 This Week: Live music, art exhibits and more in Baton Rouge

Correction: An earlier version of this article included a Louisiana Old State Capitol exhibit celebrating the centennial anniversary of women’s suffrage. That exhibit, “One Half of the People: Advancing Equality for Women,” has already closed, though the museum does have a women’s suffrage exhibit up throughout this year. 225 regrets the error.
