A month long series of musical performances, art workshops, inspirational and motivational speakers, authors and dance performances all free to the community
Acadiana Outreach is planning a month long cultural celebration in June to celebrate Black Music Month where a series of musical performances, art workshops, motivational speakers, authors, and dance performances in our iconic mosaic building all free to the community.
The goal of this event is to inspire at-risk children and families that may not have the means to recognize or foster a talent and we feel if the financial barrier is removed that some of these kids can use their gift to enrich their lives.
