Description

Join former members of the Artists' Alliance in the AcA Moncus Theater as they perform a demonstration of one of their most famous art formats: Tattooed Walls. Through the use of an overhead projector, Tattooed Walls transforms visual artmaking into a shifting performance piece that transforms in real time. As building sized images take shape, warp, and disappear, musicians and dancers respond in kind, creating a jazz-like improvisational experience that defies disciplinary boundaries.

After the performance, our artists will join AcA Visual Arts Director Jaik Faulk in a discussion of their inspirations and processes as well as the history and legacy of the Tattoed Walls form.

Our mission is fostering art and culture in Acadiana.

Founded in 1975, Acadiana Center for the Arts (“AcA”) is a community-supported nonprofit organization that fosters art and culture in Acadiana. Since its founding, AcA has developed as a major force, shaping the future of public education and community development in South Louisiana.

AcA supports the creation of new works of art, exhibits, festivals, performances, and public art across an eight-parish region that includes Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion Parishes.  

AcA aims to bring equitable access to the arts and supports fair compensation of artists. On average, AcA serves over 300,000 people annually and provides fair compensation to 2,700 artists.  

In 2013, the AcA merged with the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana (“PASA”), whose mission was to educate, inspire, entertain, and culturally enrich the people of south Louisiana by providing local access to a diverse range of the performing arts. This merger supported the vision of both organizations and provided much-needed support to PASA’s programs. Founded in 1989, PASA served as a leading voice in the performing arts in South Louisiana for close to three decades.
