Red River Revel is introducing a new format for the 28th Annual Wayne Curtis Objets D’Art fundraiser, which supports the artists at the Red River Revel each October.
The Red River Revel arts festival is held in Shreveport in the fall, a celebration of the arts, with juried visual artists and quality performing arts experiences, and food booths representing the local area.
The Red River Revel Arts Festival is underway at Festival Plaza in Shreveport, La., Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025.
The new format for the fundraiser allows everyone in the community to view the art donated by Revel artists and purchase raffle tickets online to win the art. Winners will be announced on Feb. 21, at a daylong Objets D-Art event featuring live music, Mediterranean food, and vehicle test drives.
