Housing Louisiana State University’s Museum of Art, studio art facilities, a regional performing arts facility with a 320 seat main stage, a hundred-seat black box theater, and a dance recital theater, the Shaw Center transformed Baton Rouge and the city’s sense of itself and its possibilities. An historic older building, the “Auto Hotel,” houses classrooms, offices, curatorial spaces, and a gallery for the LSU School of Art.
