Embrace the awkward. We are all human.

Therapists, let’s normalize the ums, the awkward pauses, and the moments where we definitely sound human.

An emotional response to this career is 'NORMAL'.
Seek supervision, community, self-care practices.

You can't escape the emotions, but you can respond to what arises with compassion & care.

Take care of yourselves, therapists💛

Dear Members and Local Arts Community,

We are truly grateful for the love and support we have received over the past few weeks. We have been diligently working to address our financial situation by providing the necessary documentation to our CPA for completing the required reports. Additionally, we have offered to share updates on progress and answer any questions with all city council members, as well as the City Attorney, CAO, and Mayor.

The Bossier Arts Council remains fully operational and hopes for your support of our current and upcoming programming. Contrary to some claims, the Bossier Arts Council is NOT going away.

At a time when many in the LGBTQ+ community are feeling the weight of our country’s political climate, it is worth remembering that q***r joy, pride, and community have always mattered. Gathering, celebrating, and showing up for one another has always been part of this community.

The first official Pride was held in 1970, one year after the Stonewall uprising, when LGBTQ+ people marched publicly to demand dignity, safety, and equal rights. Pride has always been both a celebration and a reminder that progress is possible, even when it feels slow or when there is pushback.

Here in Shreveport, PACE presented its first Pride in the Park in 2014, the first all-ages LGBTQ+ festival held in the city. That inaugural gathering brought together vendors, artists, informational booths, entertainers, families, and allies.

Over the years the event has continued to bring people together. It stands as a reminder that community matters and that, year after year, we keep showing up for one another.

Pro tip: Negative inner monolgue got you down? Just picture it as these guys. Just because you have negative self-depreciating thoughts doesn't mean you have to take them seriously.
