David A. Portlock Black Cultural Center
Located behind Farinon College Center, 101 McCartney St., the
center (renovated in 1998) houses the Office of Intercultural Development
and features a large gallery and full kitchen on the first floor
and offices and conference area on the second floor. The center
hosts many events including art exhibits, brown-bag lectures, movies,
dinners, and receptions. Any group in the Lafayette community may
reserve the downstairs area for meetings and special events. Computer
and audiovisual equipment are available.
Art from all over the world, representing many facets of the Black
Diaspora, is displayed throughout the building.
During 2001, the third-floor apartment was renovated and furnished.
The center welcomes everyone; it is a place of celebration, sharing,
and learning.
