CCET's Backyard Series: Herbal Lore of the Rural Communities

by: LCVC

300 Fisher Rd., Lafayette

6:30-8:30 p.m.

Admission: Free

The Backyard Series is free and open to all ages. Food and drinks are available for purchase. The Backyard Series is sponsored by CCET, with support from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, the Acadiana Center for the Arts and the Vermilionville Foundation. Held the second Tuesday of the month at Vermilionville's Performance Center from 6:30-8:30 p.m., the Center for Cultural & Eco Tourism's Backyard Series brings a wide range of topics to the general public to provide educational opportunities and offer new perspectives on established traditions and perceptions. The series' presentations range from informal workshops to question-and-answer forums to interactive presentations led by qualified facilitators. In our own backyard, we still fall prey to preconceived notions and commodification of our culture. CCET's series bridges this gap between academia and the general public, and this linkage is fundamental to a better understanding of cultural and historical authenticity and constructively addressing stereotypes. The series is sponsored in part by Decentralized Arts Funding distributed by the Acadiana Center for the Arts and the Louisiana Division of the Arts in partnership with the Vermilionville Foundation.
