Get ready for an epic art adventure presented by the Arts Council of Central Louisiana!
Kick off our 2024-2025 Performing Arts Series with Artrageous—the 5-star, internationally acclaimed show that’s got everyone talking! Critics rave about Artrageous, drawing comparisons to the innovation of the Blue Man Group. Harrison Ford says, “You are amazing!” CBS shouts, “Go See This Show!” And The NBA All Stars proclaim, “So spectacular! So immediate! So brilliantly creative!”

Have you ever imagined a country boy's adventure from farm life to the bustling lights of the big city? Cirque Italia is thrilled to present our new production, a captivating story about Rafael, a farm boy swept away by a tornado who lands in the heart of the city's chaos. Join us for this extraordinary journey of self-discovery and unity in our upcoming performances in ALEXANDRIA, LA!

Artists from around the country will be arriving in Alexandria to capture the beauty of our everyday surroundings. Check our website farmtoforestpleinair.com for more details in the coming months.

The Alexandria Museum of Art invites you to celebrate their signature arts event, the Farm to Forest Plein Air Festival. This multi-day festival will bring artists to Central Louisiana to paint "en plein air" - outdoors!
