SUMMARY:40 Festival International de Louisiane
DESCRIPTION:40 Festival International de Louisiane\ncurated by Herman Mhire\nApril 11, 2026 – May 2, 2026\nFrom the curator Herman Mhire:\n“What began as a dream – to share the beauty of francophone culture and\nbring people together through the arts – has grown into something far\ngreater than anyone could have imagined. Each spring, more than 300,000\nvisitors fill downtown Lafayette with music, laughter, and the kind of joy that\nonly happens when cultures meet and hearts open. Festival International\nde Louisiane has become a reflection of who we are – creative, generous,\nand deeply connected to one another.\nTo commemorate its fortieth anniversary, Festival has published a bilingual\ncoffee table book documenting the origins and evolution of the largest\ninternational francophone festival in the United States.\nThe lavishly illustrated 200-page book features images by leading\nphotographers, and contributions by Festival founders, former board\nmembers, volunteers, and fans.\n\nHard and soft cover editions of the book are available for purchase online\n(https://www.festivalinternational.org/) and at the 2026 Festival in\ndowntown Lafayette.\n\nThe photographs in this exhibition represent a sample of the remarkable\nimages featured in Festival’s 40 th anniversary book taken by Rhonda\nRobison Berkeley, James Billeaudeau, Denny Culbert, Philip Gould, Paul\nKieu, and Robin May.\nAs we celebrate this remarkable anniversary, we look ahead with gratitude\nand hope – ready to imagine the next 40 years.”\n \nFeatured Artists:\nRhonda Robison Berkeley\nJames Billeaudeau\nDenny Culbert\nPhilip Gould\nPaul Kieu\nRobin May\n
