Hi everyone, my name is Ena. The Brown Boiz Arttism showcase—a community art event to celebrate the creativity of neurodivergent youth in Shreveport.

As the mother of an incredible 11-year-old son, Robert, who navigates the world with Autism and ADHD, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative art can be. Painting and creating has given him a beautiful, powerful way to express himself.

After the success of his first art show, I realized we needed to create a bigger platform—not just for Robert, but for other brilliantly talented neurodivergent youth in our community. That is how the vision for the Brown Boiz Arttism showcase was born.

This event is dedicated to celebrating the creativity, unique perspectives, and boundless potential of neurodivergent youthful artists right here in Shreveport.

Putting on a professional community art showcase takes resources, and that is where we need your help. Your generous donations will go directly toward securing a gallery location, creating a gallery-ready setup for artists; including frames, canvases, and easels. We’ll also be honoring the generosity of our venue host with a special plaque and gift, and covering event essentials like marketing materials, flyers, refreshments, and celebration items for the artists.

Every single contribution, no matter the size, helps us create a night of inclusion, celebration, and pure artistic expression. If you aren’t in a position to donate, simply sharing this campaign with your network means the world to us.

Thank you for believing in our vision and supporting these amazing youthful creators!
