Gallery Promenade

Gallery Promenade, the Arts and Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana’s annual gallery and museum showcase, occurs on the last Friday in September, and it celebrates the art space as both a local business and a cultural force. Gallery Promenade is designed to give residents and visitors of Southwest Louisiana an evening in the fall when galleries, art venues, and museums across the Lake Area work in a coordinated effort to open their doors and take part in an extensive promenade of current exhibits and local art.

This past year, over fifteen venues from downtown Lake Charles to McNeese campus and Sulphur to Moss Bluff opened their doors and featured dozens of local artists and exhibits. Art spaces operate simultaneously as both a business and a center for creative thought and artistic progression in Southwest Louisiana, and Gallery Promenade is a celebratory event that encourages the public to travel gallery to gallery for a comprehensive and engaging experience of the diversity of Southwest Louisiana’s art and the many artists and art spaces that are further developing the region’s cultural economy.
