In collaboration with the Joan Mitchell Foundation, and an independent
jury, the Arts Council selected twenty public art projects designed
specifically by local artists for the City of New Orleans. Artists
received $25,000 to create artwork to be placed in the public venue and
help with rebuilding their artistic careers. The commissions provide the
opportunity for local and regional artists to showcase their work
parallel to the international exhibits: Prospect.1 Biennial and Sculpture
for New Orleans.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";

from Louisiana and Mississippi who were affected by Katrina or Rita were

diversity and the high quality of the proposals, twenty commissions
funded by the Joan Mitchell Foundation were awarded. </span><span
