Acadiana Center For The Arts

The Acadiana Center for the Arts is the perfect location for corporate events, company picnics, weddings, receptions, film viewings, book readings, anniversary events and holiday parties. The AcA offers several one-of-a-kind spaces for your private gatherings.

The AcA is the central hub of cultural life, a center of service, programming as well as art and education in Acadiana.  An architectural marvel, glowing jewel-like in the downtown nightscape, the AcA incorporates museum-quality galleries, an arts education center, a broadcast venue, workshops, conference and office spaces and a modular theater with adaptive acoustics. 

This James Devin Moncus Theater is a magnificent 300-seat performing arts theater that fills a void in Acadiana, accommodating everything from spoken word to dance and theater, classical music to jazz and Zydeco.

Visual arts programming includes 25 exhibits annually in the more than 9,000 square feet of high-end gallery space. The AcA features significant regional talent as well as nationally and internationally celebrated artists.
