Arts Council of New Orleans is excited to be working with some of the
area’s most talented visual artists to create works of art to be placed
throughout New Orleans. In collaboration with the <a
href="http://www.joanmitchellfoundation.org/">Joan Mitchell Foundation </a>.,
twenty-one artists will receive $25,000 to create public art and to rebuild
their artistic careers. Through the 2008 New Orleans Art in Public Places
Commissions, artists from Louisiana and Mississippi who were affected by
Katrina or Rita were eligible to apply. The Call to Artists was initially for
ten commissions, but due to the extraordinary response, the artistic diversity
and the high quality of the proposals, the opportunity was expanded to
twenty-one commissions funded by the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Recipients
include the following artists:<br>
<br>
Franco Alessandrini<br>
Barry Bailey<br>
Ryan Ballard<br>
Raine Bedsole<br>
Lou Blackwell<br>
Marcus Brown<br>

international exhibits: Prospect.1 Biennial and Sculpture for New Orleans. The
twenty-one projects will be installed beginning in October 2008 and remain on
view for at least two years <o:p></o:p></span></p>
