Student Arts Expo

Student Arts Expo is a celebration of student-artists in all artistic disciplines!

This event, which takes place in 3 different parishes, features outdoor performances from school bands, choirs, and performance classes, art exhibitions in businesses and outdoors, hands-on art activities for families, and a student artist market where you can purchase original artwork and crafts directly from the artist.

Join us for this free and family-friendly festival of student artwork, live performances, and fun arts activities!

Acadiana Center for the Arts is seeking sponsors to help mount three ambitious and high-profile celebrations of creativity and youth in our community.

In addition to participating in this highly-visible community event, sponsors make possible a year-round program that impacts the lives of more than 25,000 students in Acadiana across 80 public schools.

Arts in Education sponsorships are tax deductible to the amount allowed by law and typically qualify for Community Reinvestment Act spending.
