Artmosphere makes a comeback

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Walking into a live music venue like Artmosphere just seems to make Justin Bennett happy.

So much so that he and his wife of nearly six years, Marcela, are the new owners of the longtime home for live music at 902 Johnston St. But there’s also a back story to this whole deal, one that pings on three edges of the U.S. but might finally be taking off in Lafayette.

I had a good conversation with Justin yesterday at the location. He also scoffed at the parking questions people often bring up about the place: "This place has existed 25 years without parking." 

You can read my story here. 

Have a great day and thanks again for reading.
