Raise the Roof 2025

In 2020, a tornado hit Monroe, causing significant damage to the museum’s roof. When it was repaired, not all the original tiles from the 1929 roof were able to be reused. In 2022, the Masur Museum of Art hosted the first Raise the Roof Fundraiser, asking local artists to create works of art with the tiles.

The funds raised in the auction will be used to care for the Masur Museum’s permanent collection.

The tiles vary in weight but some are VERY HEAVY!

Located in the former home of the Masur family, the Masur Museum of Art is the largest collecting and exhibiting visual arts museum in Northeast Louisiana.
