At Kolaj Institute, we reject the myth of the solitary artist and believe that artists are better in community with one another. In that spirit we invite working artists to join us for a monthly meet-up to get feedback on work, and network with one another. Find out who’s looking for folks to exhibit, meet other working artists, and get the low-down on the skinny of what’s up and up. The event is hosted by LaVonna Varnado Brown at Kolaj Institute Gallery. RSVP is helpful but not necessary. Artists are encouraged to bring artwork to share with the group. Questions? Send an email to info@kolajinstitute.org Note: This is an in-person event. It will not be streamed or recorded. Information Source: Kolaj Institute | eventbrite

The Institute for Sport and Social Justice, the 25th Annual Player Networking Event, and Athlife invite you to join us during the lead-up to the Super Bowl for a panel discussion on the challenges facing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the world of sports and beyond. The past five years have seen significant progress in discussions and initiatives around DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) nationwide. In 2023, for example, the NFL experienced a historic increase in the hiring of Black coaches, alongside notable strides in leadership diversity reflecting the demographics of the players. However, recent changes in legislation and policy have led to widespread bans on DEI programs, threatening the progress made for many underrepresented groups. Our panel of experts will dive into the current backlash against DEI initiatives, examining its impact on the NFL, sports at large, and society. Don’t miss this critical conversation on the future of DEI in sports and its broader societal implications.

Join us on Tuesday, February 18th, at 6 PM as we welcome former Louisiana Poet Laureate Julie Kane for a special celebration of her latest publication, Naked Ladies. Enjoy an evening of poetry, conversation, and literary insight as Kane shares selections from her work. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of Louisiana’s most celebrated poets! ABOUT THE BOOK Capturing the breadth of Julie Kane’s poetics across nearly four decades—formalist and neo-confessional, steeped in both Boston Irish-American and New Orleans cultures— Naked Ladies displays the full range and achievement of her work. Gathered here in one volume are selections from Kane’s five previous collections, including her long-out-of- print first book and her subsequent winners of the National Poetry Series and Donald ABOUT THE POET Justice Poetry Prize. A past Louisiana poet laureate and Fulbright scholar, JULIE KANE is professor emerita at Northwestern State University, currently teaching in the low-residency MFA program at Western Colorado University. Used Book What luck—an open bookstore up ahead as rain lashed awnings over Royal Street, and then to find the books were secondhand, with one whole wall assigned to poetry; and then, as if that wasn’t luck enough, to find, between Jarrell and Weldon Kees, the blue-on-cream, familiar backbone of my chapbook, out of print since ’83— its cover very slightly coffee-stained, but aging (all in all) no worse than flesh through all those cycles of the seasons since its publication by a London press. Then, out of luck, I read the name inside: The man I thought would love me till I died. Information Source: The Garden District Book Shop | eventbrite
