Known by locals and global art enthusiasts alike, the R. W. Norton Art Gallery is home to an extensive, permanent collection of over 500 paintings by more than 100 artists.

The Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, Calif., put the exhibition together in 2018, asking artists to use Kahlo herself as a theme, her garden, her Mexican culture and her fashion. The show set records at the Bedford Gallery before traveling to New Mexico, Florida, Alabama and Texas before coming to Shreveport.

“We would go to festivals, competitions and different home brewery events around not just Louisiana, but Texas and all over the country,” Cardenas said. “We ended up winning some awards with our beers. We decided that maybe, one day, we could start a brewery.

Monday-Thursday from 4–8:30 p.m., and Friday-Sunday from 6:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Please note: Monday-Thursday the gardens are closed to the public during the day until 4 p.m.
