About Alexandria Museum of Art
The Alexandria Museum of Art (AMoA) of Alexandria, central Louisiana, United States opened its doors in 1977 in downtown Alexandria in the historic Rapides Bank and Trust Company Building (circa 1898). Rapides Bank and Trust Company Building is a historic bank building completed in 1898 in the Renaissance Revival style, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1980. In 1998, AMoA expanded and constructed its grand foyer and offices as an annex to the Rapides Bank Building. In 1999, AMoA was honored as an Outstanding Arts Organization in the Louisiana Governor's Arts Awards. In 2007, the Museum entered into a collaborative endeavor agreement with Louisiana State University of Alexandria (LSUA). Today, AMoA also serves as a downtown campus for LSUA classes and hosts multidisciplinary community events, including lectures, yoga classes, and other public programs that celebrate visual art, music, literature, poetry, and the performing arts.
The Alexandria Museum of Art is located across from City Hall and the Hotel Bentley in downtown Alexandria, Louisiana.
The museum presents between five and seven exhibitions each year, showcasing a wide range of contemporary art and rotating exhibitions from regional, national, and international artists.
