With a title tipping its hat to the long-closed gay nightclub of Lafayette's past, Fantasy II in Exile explores the realm of a mythical dreamworld where the exiled are perceived as fools and hermits, while also acknowledging that many of the most interesting and liberated people in history are exiles of a sort, as well. Through painting and sculpture, artists Jacob Todd Broussard and Emily Mausner explore the co-existence of whimsy and solitude; of sentiment and loss. Both artists have studied and created art extensively, with Broussard currently living in Buffalo, NY; and Mausner currently residing in Orlando, FL. Suggested donation of $5. Public gallery hours are 11 am–4 pm Tuesday through Saturday. acadianacenterforthearts.org.
