The Louisiana Art and Science Museum (LASM) has announced a new solo exhibition titled "Then, and Now, and Always: The Art of Nick Bustamante," featuring works by the Louisiana Tech University professor. Opening March 21 in the Soupçon Gallery, the collection explores themes of family, loss, and legacy through a body of work created specifically for this show over the last two years.
This exhibition highlights the growing institutional focus on the intersection of creative practice and scientific inquiry, particularly through Bustamante’s role as co-founder of the VISTA Center. By blending fine art with evidence-based wellness and scientific visualization, the museum aims to demonstrate the healing power of art and its practical applications within a community context.
