Republic Finance recently committed $100,000 to the Louisiana Art & Science Museum meant to “directly fund significant capital improvements” to the former Main 1 Gallery. As a thank-you gift, LASM is renaming that gallery to “The Republic Finance Gallery” which will feature exhibits of works created by local, national, and international artists and scientists. The Museum wishes for this new exhibit to bring local communities together through the arts while also pleasing out-of-town visitors. lasm.org
