Henry Price
Henry Price has dedicated his life to supporting the arts. In 2010, he was invited to the Italian Riviera to participate in a study of Italian culture and the arts. He has worked with the George Rodrigue Blue Dog Foundation of the Arts and is a founding fellow of the Louisiana A+ initiative, which promotes the integration of the arts into school curricula across the state.
When art education faced significant challenges in Louisiana, Price advocated fiercely for its preservation. Working with the Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC), he was instrumental in the creation of the 39-year-old ArtBreak Festival in downtown Shreveport.
In recognition of his contributions, Price received the Southeastern Regional Art Supervisor of the Year Award from the National Art Education Association in 2014. On March 24, 2019, The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture invited him to serve as a panelist for the screening of the documentary “Clementine Hunter’s World.”
