JPMorgan Chase has awarded the Acadiana Center for the Arts a $20,000 grant to support performances and workshops presented through the AcA’s Arts in Education program in participation with the Louisiana Crossroads concert series. The award is the latest of several grants presented to the arts organization by the bank as part of an ongoing partnership between the two entities, which share the same block bounded by Jefferson, Vermilion, Buchanan and Main streets downtown.
“We take great pride in our history of supporting organizations and programs that strengthen the communities we serve,” says JPMorgan Lafayette Market President Edward Hebert, pictured, at left, with AcA Executive Director Gerd Wuestemann. “We commend the important work of the AcA and are glad to support its efforts with this grant and look forward to learning about its community impact.”
The Fugro Chance Family Performance Series returns Jan. 13 with Roger Day. Louisiana Crossroads continues Jan. 20 (Lake Charles) and 21 (Lafayette) with performances by Chris Thomas King. To find out more about the performances presented through the AcA, visit their Web site or call 233-7060.

Councilman William Theriot proposed phasing out LCG appropriations of tax dollars to NGO the last two years. As a result, rumor has it that some local power brokers are going to fund another Republican to challenge him for his seat in the next election.
Treasurer John Kennedy proposed eliminating state appropriations of tax dollars to NGOs during the "streamline commission" meetings. He was voted down 6-2, with one of the leading NO voices being from that of Gov. Jindal's head of Administration.
THAT, Northside SG, is the thanks those two guys received for their efforts.
