Artists including tap dancer/choreographer Lisa La Touche and jazz saxophonist/composer Immanuel Wilkins will be working with the Louis Armstrong House Museum (LAHM) until October, as they are a part of the 2024 cohort of the museum’s Armstrong Now Artist-in-Residence program, announced last month.

This comes as the museum’s Center celebrates one year of being opened in Queens. The Museum has also recently won the IMLS National Medal for Museums, which was accepted by its Executive Director Regina Bain in Washington, D.C. on July 30.

Bain states, “This tremendous new class of Armstrong Now Artists joins a deepening community of creative individuals who believe in legacy and have the power to innovate, creating thrilling experiences for audiences worldwide.”
