A message from the Arts Council of



Central Louisiana

With our country in crisis, we would like to assure you that the Arts Council of Central Louisiana stands with the citizens of our community for justice and equality. We embrace each other with compassion, respect and the healing that is made possible through the arts.

Racism, discrimination and exclusion are among the greatest threats to a community built on belonging and acceptance. The arts have a way of challenging assumptions, bringing forth change, enlightening and unifying communities. The Arts Council of Central Louisiana commits to listen, to continue to contribute to the cultural life of Alexandria, Rapides Parish, and the Central Louisiana region, and to work together to ensure the safety and acceptance that each member of our community deserves.
