If you love to support your local artists and artisans, like I do, then now is a great time to shop for unique handmade gifts by people who actually make a living making 'art'.

Some of my favorite local places are below, and remember that in Louisiana, if you are in a designated cultural district, there are tax exclusions for original pieces of art.

 

Downtown Lafayette

Henderson

Sunset

Duson

Breaux Bridge
