Thank you to all of the artists who submitted work for the Thrive 2015 calendar. We were overwhelmed with the talent and creativity found in Southwest Louisiana. We appreciate the help of the Arts & Humanities Council for narrowing down the choices, and to the Thrive Facebook fans who voted on the winning entries. We also sincerely appreciate the Isle of Capri for their sponsorship which allows us to produce the calendar.
Thank You
