Entry to this talk is free with gallery admission. 

 

Join us in closing out this 'far out' exhibition with a conversation between AcA's Visual Arts Director, Jaik Faulk and exhibiting artist, Lynda Frese.

 

Lynda Frese’s work conveys ideas about the abundant social life of forests and the sentience of plants. Trees from different biomes are especially featured. They alone are witnesses to the flying saucers that dot the landscapes. Tapping into the surreal aspects of collage, her work speaks to our own private and mysterious experiences in nature.

 

Note: This is the last day to catch Lynda's exhibition!

 

Lynda Frese’s artwork has been exhibited across the United States, and in Europe and South America. Her pieces are represented in private and public collections including the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Manetti Shrem Museum in Davis, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the Center for Louisiana Studies. Lynda Frese is 2016 professor emeritus at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she served on the visual arts faculty. She received BFA (1978) and MFA (1986) degrees from the University of California at Davis, and fellowships from Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine; the Bogliasco Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, Italy, Vashon Artist Residency, WA; ArtLab  at the Mountain Lake Biological Station, University of Virginia; and Willapa Bay AiR, Willapa, Wa.

Acadiana Center for the Arts

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.
