Natchitoches in Bloom - 5th Sculpture Unveiling

The Natchitoches Historic District Development Commission and the Cane River National Heritage Area, together with Northwestern State University School of Creative and Performing Arts, are excited to invite the community to the unveiling of the fifth sculpture in the ongoing Natchitoches in Bloom public art series. 

The celebration will take place on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the City Park Amphitheater. The event is free and open to the public. 

Natchitoches in Bloom is a collaborative public art initiative designed to celebrate the natural beauty, culture, and creativity of Natchitoches through a series of large-scale floral sculptures placed throughout the community. The project was created through a partnership between the Natchitoches Historic District Development Commission and the Cane River National Heritage Area, with support from the Natchitoches State University's School of Creative and Performing Arts. 

This newest installation recognizes the artistry of Corbin Covher and Jade Nugent, whose work brings to life the spirit and creativity that define the region.

The Natchitoches in Bloom series continue to transform public spaces into vibrant works of art while highlighting the talented artists and creative partnerships that make the project possible. Community members are encouraged to attend the unveiling and celebrate the continued growth of this unique public art initiative.
