OUR CULTURE with future generations by supporting the arts
The AcA has grown and changed over the past 50 years since its founding in 1975 as a humble arts council, but every year brings new opportunities and unanticipated challenges.
In this pathway, AcA aims to build an endowment designed to secure and sustain its work fostering arts and culture in Acadiana for the next 50 years.
We envision the Acadiana Center for the Arts as a team with the right people in the right roles and the support needed to drive this work for generations to come.
A man may plant a tree with no realistic expectation that he will ever sit in its shade. Nevertheless, he unselfishly plants it as a legacy for the enjoyment and benefit of those who follow. It is with that mindset that we whole-heartedly support the mission of the Acadiana Center for the Arts, feeling so blessed to live in a community unique to all others that is enriched by our arts and culture.
The labors, sacrifices and forethought of those who created and nurtured all that is special about Acadiana deserve our gratitude and respect; for without them and those who continue to perpetuate and enhance our traditions, we might not be so incredibly blessed today or in the future.
Please support the Let Culture Lead campaign knowing that those who planted our shade trees almost 50 years ago with the inception of the Acadiana Arts Council may be honored by our support now of the Acadiana Center for the Arts.
A man doesn’t plant a tree for himself. He plants it for posterity.
     — Dr. Ronnie Daigle, Physician & AcA Board President (2022-2024)
With transformational support, your investment will build a group of endowment / planned gifts in recognition of AcA’s 50th anniversary in 2025 to ensure this work continues for future generations.
Pathway Goal: $5 Million
It takes a flock.
Let Culture Lead is an initiative that benefits from AcA’s long-standing strategic partners, without which this work would not be possible.
