The
André Cailloux Center for Performing Arts & Cultural Justice

A portal. A living, breathing home place.
A conduit for remembrance, for resistance, for belonging.

There's something that happens when you've been somewhere long enough to feel it change you.

You start to recognize the sound of the building. The way the light comes through in the afternoon. The feeling in the room just before a performance begins — that held breath, that collective leaning in. You stop being a visitor and become part of the place.

Three years ago, we opened our doors on Bayou Road and asked a question we already believed the answer to: Can a Black cultural institution, rooted in this community, on this street, grow and last? Three years later, we're proving that the legacy cannot be evicted.

**What if, instead of simply surviving, we had the power and the place to define our future** ?!

What Your Investment Supports:

The love you give here is reciprocated. It does not disappear. It becomes legacy. It becomes accessible. You are investing in something beautiful, sustainable, and something that is ours. The support you give here isn't just a donation, it's a continuation. It becomes a building still standing. A stage still lit. A child who grows up knowing they come from brilliance.

At ACC, we keep the beat alive so our community can gather, create, and celebrate. But we can't do it alone. We need you.

**We are not just holding space.
We are reclaiming it. Because justice is not just an idea.
It must be lived. It must be felt. It must be practiced**.
