In 2026, the Shreveport Regional Arts Council, Red River Revel and the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl all celebrate 50 years of supporting our wonderful community. This milestone has been made possible by generations of families, friends, artists and supporters who believed in the power of bringing people together.

To celebrate, a special exhibit has been curated by local artist, Bruce Allen, that has poured tirelessly over 50 years of photographs and memories to share with you – the people who have carried these beloved traditions forward. Your stories, experiences and contributions are woven into our legacy.

For five decades, you have helped shape who we are. Now, together we look toward the next 50 years and the memories, traditions and possibilities still to come.

Thank you for being part of our story, and the reason our story continues.
