We are a group of artists and art enthusiasts devoted to the preservation, promotion, practice and continued growth of the visual arts in New Orleans. We need your help!
A response to mass closures of university art departments nationwide & the related effect on education, the arts community and artists; the society seeks to provide opportunities for artists to grow and maintain practice.
Few cities have played as significant a role in the history of American culture as New Orleans, which has long been home to one of the nation’s most diverse cultural communities. The threat of loss to traditional visual languages is severe, and without a library for future reference visual culture is at risk of losing its history regarding practice.
Archiving, practicing, and promoting techniques associated with the history of visual expression, we invite participation from diverse cultural backgrounds for engagement with and enrichment of the community.
