With Spring fast approaching, The Haven’s Board of Directors is busy planning our annual Spring Gala “Home is Where the Heart Is”, presented by Watkins, CPA. This event ensures that families have access to safe, emergency shelter where they can seek refuge 24-hours a day to escape the atrocity of abuse at the hands of a loved one. Reaching our goal of raising $120,000 would ensure that The Haven can continue to provide critical, lifesaving services to battered women and their children.

Rae Boudreaux, event chair, and the remaining members of the Board of Directors invite you to join them for a special evening of food, spirits, music, and spirited auctioning all while ensuring that abused women and children have a place to turn for safety and an opportunity for a new beginning. There are so many ways that you can get involved in the event. Please consider joining us to raise the necessary funds to continue our mission of providing a safe, abuse-free home by purchasing a ticket or sponsorship to the event or making a monetary contribution. Love to cook - become a celebrity chef and serve up your best dish to the 500 guests at the event. Donations to the silent, live and gourmet-to- go auctions are a great way to support the event and raise funds for our shelter program.

THIBODAUX, La. -- Nicholls State University invites you to spend a night celebrating the arts at the popular annual fundraiser, Art Works, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2 in Talbot Hall.

The event will include tours of the studios, interactive learning experiences, a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind artwork, live painting from a renowned Louisiana artist, an exhibit of local artists’ work, complimentary hors-d'oeuvres and a cash bar.

“I love Art Works because it’s more than just a fundraiser, it’s an event where our alumni, students, faculty, staff and the community come together to support our students and the arts” Jean Donegan, art department head.

In the lobby of the Mary and Al Danos Theater, guests can peruse the “Bon Temps” exhibit, featuring unique hand-painted birdhouses, garden posts and framed mirrors. Each item was created by alumni, faculty, students and local artists and designers and will be auctioned off during the night.

Louisiana’s premier folk artist Alvin Batiste will be on-hand and painting live during the event. The Donaldsonville artist has produced more than 8,000 paintings, many of which are on display in museums and galleries throughout the world, and was once commissioned by actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton to create the album cover for his debut record.

For those with an interest in arts, Nicholls art students and faculty will be on hand to show you tips and tricks to elevate your skills. Hands-on activities, such as using a potter’s wheel and creating hand-colored photographs, and demonstrations will take place throughout the night. New this year, a printing demonstration will take place in the parking lot using a steamroller.

Among the artwork on display will be the famous, 105-year old “Blue Dog Steinway” created by renowned artist George Rodrigue. Housed at the Sheraton New Orleans, the piano often tours the country to raise awareness about the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts and has been played by Billy Joel, Allen Toussaint, Ellis Marsalis Jr., Irvin Mayfield, Dr. John and many more.  

For the second year in a row, artwork will be available for bid online. Supporters unable to attend the event can still bid on many of the items for auction by signing up at nicholls.edu/artworks.
