Acadiana Center for the Arts announces its latest expansion of programming with an all-new Vermilion Parish Student Arts Expo on Saturday, April 12, at Magdalen Square in Downtown Abbeville.

The free festival is a celebration of student-artists in all artistic disciplines from every corner of Vermilion Parish.

With 2 stages and multiple exhibition locations around Magdalen Square, Student Arts Expo is a true community event.

This is our inaugural Student Arts Expo in Vermilion Parish, and we anticipate it will attract thousands of visitors to downtown Abbeville while showcasing artwork and performances from pre-K to 12th-grade students in the parish.

The event features many day-long street activities, Art in Action live painting demonstrations, hands-on art Activities for All, and the Student Artist Market.

Student Arts Expo in Abbeville is a partnership between Acadiana Center for the Arts and Vermilion Parish School Board with support from the Vermilion Affiliate of the Community Foundation of Acadiana.
