Louisiana Musical Instrument Makers and Repairers: The Traveling Exhibit
The Exhibit
This traveling exhibit explores the state's musical instrument builders and repairers and their relationships with music stores and musicians. It draws upon the online essay, Innovation, Tradition, and Change in Louisiana Musical Instrument Making and Repair, and other tradition bearers previously documented by the Folklife Program. The traveling exhibit consists of three pull-up banners and is intended to travel to libraries and other small venues throughout Louisiana. The banner themes are Innovation, Tradition, and Change.
