Now more than ever, artists need community. At ARCHIVES, we’re driven by a deep commitm
ent to revitalizing the arts scene in Acadiana by creating meaningful opportunities for connection, visibility, and compensation for creatives, arts patrons, and community members alike.
Across Acadiana, artists have consistently voiced a shared need—spaces where creatives can gather, connect, and thrive outside of traditional institutions. At ARCHIVES, we’ve heard that call loud and clear, and we're excited to begin building that vision together.
Last night, we had the privilege of hosting a highly anticipated event at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, designed specifically for artists preparing for their first big exhibition. The workshop, Preparing for Your First Big Exhibition, proved to be an invaluable experience for both seasoned artists and newcomers to the exhibition world.
