Now through August 5th, the West Baton Rouge Museum presents a new exhibition entitled Fait à la Main: The Acadian Handicraft Project.
This exhibit features traditional Acadian handiwork such as brown cotton woven textiles, hand sewing and wood crafts created by Louisiana artisans who participated in the handicraft project since its inception in 1942.
Crafts produced by modern artisans will also be featured to show how Acadian traditions are being kept alive today.
