Student Arts Expo – Lafayette Parish

Get ready for a total arts takeover of Downtown Lafayette! On Saturday, March 14, the Student Arts Expo returns to showcase the incredible talent of over 2,000 students from across Lafayette Parish. This isn’t just a small exhibit; it’s a city-wide festival featuring more than 30 exhibition locations and three high-energy performance stages.

From the iconic Kickoff Parade at 10:00 AM to the Student Artist Market where you can buy original works directly from young creators, the day is packed with inspiration. Whether you’re watching a live jazz ensemble, exploring “Art in Action” live art demonstrations, or participating in hands-on activities at the AcA, you’ll see firsthand why Lafayette is the heartbeat of Acadiana’s creative future.
