The School of Art at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge is seeking donations of art supplies, especially drawing pads, sketchbooks, pencils, markers, watercolor sets, crayons, charcoal, printmaking supplies, sculpture tools, papers, rulers, t-squares and anything else that is not toxic or dangerous. Stuart Baron, the Director of the School writes, "[W]e have a great need for art supplies for the evacuees who are being housed and educated in the city and at LSU. We have four [groups] in desperate need of supplies: children and adults now living in shelters throughout the Baton Rouge area, children who are entering the public schools [whose] budgets are currently overtaxed and overwhelmed by the doubling of enrolled students, college art students from New Orleans now enrolled at the School of Art at LSU, and professional artists who have lost not only their supplies but their life's work." Send materials to the School of Art, Louisiana State University, 123 Art Building, Baton Rouge, LA 70803. For more information call [phone].
