Our Future is Your Future
We want our village to grow into a vital, active and interesting place within Baton Rouge– a place with heart and character that nurtures friendships, family, gathering and good times through the generations.
To help this happen, we created the Pointe-Marie Institute, a non-profit foundation dedicated to creating and nurturing a sense of community for our village.
We believe the Institute is so important that we created it BEFORE we created the village itself, to establish a firm foundation of programming, events, festivals and gatherings. We want a human infrastructure -- that will support, foster, and underwrite the arts and culture at Pointe-Marie as well as promote community enhancements, and create a greater Baton Rouge area for the arts and cultural events.
Our Mission
The Institute will regularly sponsor diverse events, programs and activities within the village that educate and entertain while providing occasions for gathering among residents, charitable organizations, guests and visitors.
Examples of Institute programming will include:
-
Concerts and good music
-
Celebrating local and regional traditions
-
Fitness, Health and Wellness
-
Food, Slow Food and locally sourced cooking
-
Outdoor “walk-in“ movies
-
