Each year, six contestants join a friendly competition to raise funds for AcA’s Arts in Education program. Every dollar raised counts as a vote for King & Queen of the Brew!

All proceeds benefit Acadiana Center for the Arts’ Arts in Education programming. AcA brings arts experiences to more than 60,000 young people across Acadiana from pre- through high school by placing professional teaching artists in schools, facilitating field trips, performances, and hosting student art festivals. Through this work, AcA is able to ensure that every student in our public school system gets equal access to the arts.

AcA serves every public school in Lafayette, St. Landry, Vermilion, St. Martin, and Iberia Parishes. These programs are growing fast and are on track to expand to all parishes in Acadiana!
