Baton Rouge sculptor, Becky Parsons Gottsegen, was extremely moved by the life-changing work of Innocence Project New Orleans (IPNO), an organization that has helped free 46 innocent men, who collectively served over 1,132 years behind bars for crimes they did not commit. Since then, she has dedicated her artistic talent to honoring these men, raising awareness, and supporting the fight for justice for those who have. been wrongfully convicted.

Her latest exhibit, “Exonerated: Portraits of the Wrongfully Convicted” featuring busts of 23 exonerated men, opened Sunday at the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. More than a dozen of the men honored in the exhibit attended the event.

The exhibit will be on display from March 24 – May 14, 2025 at the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, 233 St. Ferdinand St in Baton Rouge.
