ARCHIVES: Boundaries

April 12th - April 25th, 2025
Lafayette, LA
The Hallway Gallery

Borders. Limits. Frontiers. Divisions. Lines. Between people.

Across land. Real or imagined.

Boundaries shape how we navigate the world and our relationships with others. They define space, impose limits, and create structure; they also invite tension, resistance, and transformation.

In selecting and curating these works, I was drawn to pieces that embody this tension, works that make us question where separation exists and where connection prevails. Through form, color, and subject, each piece contributes to a broader conversation about the ways we define, enforce, and dissolve our own edges.

Voice and Form

January 11 - March 29th, 2025
Lafayette, LA
Acadiana Center for the Arts

This exhibition showcases work by students from UL’s Formal & Conceptual Development class, blending traditional art materials and techniques with bold, unflinching commentary on pressing societal issues. From mental and physical health struggles to police violence and women’s rights, the featured artwork challenges the viewer with raw emotion and thought-provoking narratives, asking them to face these issues head on rather than shying away and turning to coping mechanisms and modern distractions. Each work confronts deeply personal and universally significant themes, creating an experience that is as visually captivating as it is emotionally stirring.

The Art in Farming

January 11th - February 22nd, 2025 Lafayette, LA
Acadiana Center for the Arts

The Art in Farming is a project that fosters the collaboration between local artists and local farmers to celebrate the importance, joy, struggles, and rewards of sustainable agriculture, specifically in Southern Louisiana. Small-scale, sustainable growers provide the market products that are celebrated at farmers markets, but these farmers are often the least supported by the existing ag system. These growers invest a tremendous amount of time, effort, and passion into their trade, and our goal is to elevate their practices and celebrate their livelihood. By pairing farmers with local artists, we can give the farmers a new voice and a new connection to the community, while also giving local artists a distinct medium and story to tell.

Anne Boudreau: Standing at the Edge

Nov 9th, 2024 - Jan 11th, 2025
Lafayette, LA
Acadiana Center for the Arts

On “STANDING AT THE EDGE,” Anne Boudreau writes:

Over the years, I have come to believe that the art I make is in essence self-portraiture — revealing my inner soul, beliefs, challenges, concerns, or any of the multifaceted nuances that make me who I am. In addition, I have realized that “standing at the edge” is a reoccurring position that I have revisited throughout my life. At times, nearing the edge brings about a sense of approaching something, and at other times, it designates a sense of moving away. These near-edge intervals are sometimes scary, enlightening, fun, life changing, or brought on by internal or external necessity or circumstance. Of late, I find myself, again, standing at another edge — this time the sensation feels more like a low-grade rumbling that is affecting not only my personal sphere, but also the greater social, political and environmental realms — those little and big things that affect and connect us all.
