This summer, artspace in Shreveport is hosting an Epic Summer of Family Fun with hands-on activities, workshops and events to compliment "The Making of Epic” exhibition. On display through July 27th, the exhibit features a collection of William Joyce’s art and follows the evolution of “The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs” to Epic.
