The Collective - Bringing Community Art to Old Town
In December, the Lafayette Cultural Arts Division will take “creative • diverse • eclectic” to a whole new level by welcoming the community to participate in a new gallery concept in Old Town. The Collective Community Arts Center, located in a refurbished historic building at 201 N. Public Road, will serve as a clearing house for arts and culture, and blend the City’s commitment to upholding Lafayette’s past with its future evolution. At the Collective, visitors can expect to experience an unpretentious place to engage in the arts through rotating exhibits, historic displays, networking opportunities, business development, social themes, lectures, film series, and other enlightening programs. The name was carefully chosen to represent the collaboration of collectively working together to express and celebrate the community’s identity through art. The center’s concept will continue to evolve over time through participant input and public engagement. A grand opening celebration will be held in January. Attendees will be treated to an exhibit of up-and-coming local artists, a tour of the facility, light refreshments, and an introduction to impending programs. The Collective will have regular open hours beginning in January. Until then, watch for the “Open” sign that will indicate the public is invited to stop by for a visit.
