Description

Rooted in both Lafayette and New Orleans, Dion Pierre is an electric and upright bass virtuoso whose music bridges genres—from jazz and Afro jazz to funk and zydeco. A two-time GRAMMY nominee with Dwayne Dopsie and The Zydeco Hellraisers, Dion has toured the world, performing on stages from New Orleans Jazz Fest to Umbria Jazz, and sharing bills with legends like Trombone Shorty and George Benson.

Inspired by jazz great Ron Carter, Dion brings the same blend of intellect and groove to his performances, crafting music that is both technically masterful and deeply soulful. With the Dion Pierre Quartet, he returns to his jazz roots—leading audiences through a rich, rhythmic journey that celebrates Louisiana’s musical diversity and the unshakable spirit of improvisation.

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.
