The HARK Festival highlights Ark-La-Tex culture through writing, art, music, handcrafts, and more. Our annual HARK Student Competition encourages students to explore area history and express their findings creatively. HARK partners with the Red River Revel to educate and encourage young artists. We collaborate with the SCHOOL SAGAS archival program which collects oral histories from students of formerly segregated schools. The SAGAS radio documentary is broadcast on Red River Radio stations. HARK was developed by the Bishop Blue Foundation with the support of Louisiana State University Shreveport and the Noel Foundation.
