| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2 | LOUISIANA MUSIC MUSEUM: ACA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS BEGAN INVESTIGATING OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND THE PHYSICAL FOOTPRINT AND PROGRAMMING OF THE ACA. IN OCTOBER 2021, THE BOARD REVIEWED AND APPROVED A PROJECT PLAN FOR THE LOUISIANA MUSIC MUSEUM, A PROJECT THAT ENVISIONS CREATING A NEW PROGRAM OF THE ACA-THE LOUISIANA MUSIC MUSEUM-TO COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING VISITOR DESTINATIONS AND TO SERVE AS A NEW PERMANENT HOME FOR THE MANY DIVERSE STORIES OF LOUISIANA MUSIC. ACA SET OUT TO ENVISION, PLAN, AND FINANCE A 5 MILLION+ PROJECT IN ORDER TO CREATE A PHYSICAL PLACE WHERE VISITORS AND LOCALS ALIKE WILL GATHER FOR GENERATIONS TO COME TO CELEBRATE THE LEGACY OF LOUISIANA'S MUSICAL HERITAGE AS IT DESERVES TO BE CELEBRATED. ON FEBRUARY 16, 2022 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZED THE PURCHASE OF 121 W. VERMILION ST. (THE "OLD LAFAYETTE HARDWARE STORE") FOR 595,000 TO SERVE AS THE HOME OF THE LOUISIANA MUSIC MUSEUM. THE BOARD CREATED A NEW STANDING COMMITTEE TO STEER THIS PROJECT FORWARD, SUPPORTED BY THE ACA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WITH A PRELIMINARY GOAL OF COMPLETING THE PROJECT BY 2025. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | VISUAL ART EXHIBITS AND PERFORMANCES - ACA EMERGED FULLY FROM THE PANDEMIC LEVELS OF RESTRICTIONS ON IN-PERSON EVENTS AND PROGRAMMING BY JULY OF 2021, AND THE YEAR THAT HAS FOLLOWED HAS DEMONSTRATED THE PUBLIC'S DESIRE TO ENGAGE EAGERLY AND ACTIVELY WITH THE ACA'S OFFERINGS IN PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS. ACA HOSTED 10,290 DAYTIME VISITORS FOR 14 ORIGINAL ART EXHIBITIONS IN A WIDE VARIETY OF MEDIA. IN ADDITION TO THIS, ACA HOSTED APPROX. 500 STUDENTS THROUGH SCHOOL GROUP TOURS AND 6,609 VISITORS DURING THE MONTHLY FREE SECOND SATURDAY ARTWALK.

THESE FOUR EXHIBITIONS EACH FEATURED THE WORK OF A SINGLE ACADIANA-BASED ARTIST WITH THE GOAL OF DEMONSTRATING THE VAST DIVERSITY OF WORK WITHIN EACH SINGLE LIFE'S WORK. BALLANGE AND PATTON'S EXHIBITIONS WERE MID-CAREER RETROSPECTIVES, LOOKING AT WORK THAT SPANNED DECADES FOR TWO ACADIANA ARTISTS, WHO CONTINUE TO CLIMB ON A TRAJECTORY OF INNOVATIVE WORK AND INCREASING NATIONAL RECOGNITION. MARTIN AND EVANS' EXHIBITIONS LOOKED AT THE LIFETIME OF WORK FROM TWO ARTISTS WHO PASSED AWAY IN 2005 AND 2021 RESPECTIVELY BUT WHOSE WORK AND IMPACT WAS UNDER-RECOGNIZED IN THEIR LIFETIMES-MARTIN, A BLACK POSTMODERNIST WHOSE WORK WAS OFTEN SIDELINED IN FAVOR OF HIS WHITE CONTEMPORARIES, AND EVANS, A PROLIFIC LOCAL PAINTER, WRITER, AND MUSICIAN, WHOSE STRUGGLES WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND HOUSING INSTABILITY ARE INSEPARABLE FROM THE SURREAL AND OFTEN DISTURBING IMAGES HE PAINTED IN HIS LIFETIME. OTHER EXHIBITIONS INCLUDED CONTEMPORARY AND EXPERIMENTAL ARTWORK BY UP-AND-COMING ARTISTS: JACOB TODD BROUSSARD & EMILE MAUSNER: FANTASY II IN EXILE (6/1/21 TO 11/30/21), CARRIE FONDER: LITTLE LABORS (12/11/21 TO 3/12/22), AND PAIGE BARNETT: 4-LETTER WORD, (4/25/22 TO 5/28/22).

| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - ACA PROVIDED 29 DIRECT GRANTS TO AREA ARTISTS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH FIVE GRANT PROGRAMS, WHICH AWARDED A COMBINED TOTAL OF 148,066 FOR LOCAL PROJECTS.
