When Lafayette artists wanted a space of their own, they built one.

From 1986 to 1999, the Artists’ Alliance brought artists together in downtown Lafayette, creating a community for those who felt outside the traditional art scene.

Join arts and culture writer Brooke Broussard and former Alliance members for Building the Collective, a conversation about how they made it happen, from finding funding to keeping an artist-led organization going.
