Creative Acadiana

Bob Borel and Emma Sonnier will delve into things a lot of people wish they knew before their first exhibition. They will cover things such as: Glossary of terms – words you won’t hear unless talking with a gallery Transporting your artwork How to communicate with a gallery about how to display your work Standard sales percentages and how to negotiate Who’s responsible for what?

If you require your accessibility needs addressed, please contact community@acadianacenterforthearts.org to discuss. ...

Join AcA’s Visual Arts Director, Jaik Faulk, in conversation with exhibiting artist, Anne Boudreau. ABOUT ANNE BOUDREAU Anne Boudreau is a native of New Orleans and currently resides in Lafayette, Louisiana. For over twenty-five years, she has been making, exhibiting and teaching visual art. Now semi-retired from full-time teaching, she happily teaches part-time in the Visual Art Department at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Boudreau continues to make fiber based work that includes three-dimensional suspended and relief forms that are often presented as installation environments. She has more recently been exploring the possibilities in making two-dimensional fabric constructions.

Her gathering and use of repurposed materials is mainly motivated by her regard for our natural environment and her respect for our Earth. ...
