The Acadiana Center for the Arts is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Louisiana Crossroads season.
A performance was held Friday night called Homecoming to celebrate the milestone. The Crossroads series has featured Louisiana s most compelling artists for 20 years and 136 performances.
Organizers say a large cast of special guest artists all contributed to make the evening special, including Kelli Jones, Corey Ledet, Beau Thomas, and many more. Tonight represents the twentieth anniversary of Louisiana Crossroads, so it is a very momentous occasion, and again [we re] just really excited that so many people are out here to enjoy the presentation, said Mary Guidry, senior vice president at Iberia Bank.
Acadiana jumps at the chance to engage in art indoors

Gov. John Bel Edwards announced on March 2 that Phase 3 of reopening the state will enable more indoor events, as gatherings were increased to 50% capacity or up to 250 people.
With the announcement, the arts community in Acadiana was quick to act upon the new allowance and start jamming under a roof again.
Here s a look at some of the things that are making their return as things ease back to normal.
