ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rozalyn LeCompte was born and raised by musicians in Acadiana and has created art since she could hold a crayon. She has been a full-time artist since retiring from the Healing Arts profession in 2017.

 

Roz has recently transitioned from creating and running a musical accessory brand back to her first love of painting. She is self-taught and has explored many mediums including recycled sculpture, poetry, and mixed media collage. She has journeyed from abstract to a chaotic whimsical folk art style that allows her to filter her life experiences onto the wood canvases that she builds.

Acadiana Center for the Arts

Our mission is fostering art and culture in Acadiana.

Founded in 1975, Acadiana Center for the Arts (“AcA”) is a community-supported nonprofit organization that fosters art and culture in Acadiana. Since its founding, AcA has developed as a major force, shaping the future of public education and community development in South Louisiana.

AcA supports the creation of new works of art, exhibits, festivals, performances, and public art across an eight-parish region that includes Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion Parishes.  

AcA aims to bring equitable access to the arts and supports fair compensation of artists. On average, AcA serves over 300,000 people annually and provides fair compensation to 2,700 artists.  

In 2013, the AcA merged with the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana (“PASA”), whose mission was to educate, inspire, entertain, and culturally enrich the people of south Louisiana by providing local access to a diverse range of the performing arts. This merger supported the vision of both organizations and provided much-needed support to PASA’s programs. Founded in 1989, PASA served as a leading voice in the performing arts in South Louisiana for close to three decades.
