Open Studio Acadiana
Open Studio Acadiana
presented by
The Louisiana Crafts Guild
Open Studio Acadiana is a unique decentralized event across Louisiana’s Acadiana celebrating the area’s artists and craftspeople. By inviting the public on a road trip across the 705 zip code annually the weekend before Thanksgiving, this family-friendly event creates one-of-a-kind experiences for the public to engage directly with artists and craftspeople in the spaces where they create. Expect adventure, discovery, education, and lagniappe by way of good food and conversation, as artists, craftspeople, galleries, museums, art patrons, and their communities organize to host special events, demonstrations, and more to celebrate the arts in Acadiana.

Why a suggested donation, you ask?
Your donation helps bring art from around the world to our community AND supports local artists who exhibit in AcA’s galleries. Since our founding in 1975 and since this building opened in 2004, AcA has showcased thousands of artists. This space has become a hub for artists and art-loving audiences right here in Acadiana. Your dollars help make both of those things happen!
