Insiders’ Salon | January 21, 2026
As a special thank-you to our AcA Insiders and President’s Circle members, we invite you to a rare, intimate evening centered around George Rodrigue: Works 1965–2000, days before the exhibition closes.
This Insiders’ Salon starts 2026 off strong by offering one last chance to experience Rodrigue’s artistic evolution up close, from his early bayou surrealism to the iconic emergence of the Blue Dog. While our main gallery rests for a re-installation, AcA opens its doors for an after-hours gathering filled with art, conversation, and a little lagniappe for AcA members.
Enjoy light bites and refreshments as you explore and mingle with fellow members and celebrate the closing moments of this special exhibition in Acadiana style.
