Arts Council of New Orleans www.artscouncilofneworleans.org
When completed in 2004, Louisiana ArtWorks will change the face of the Warehouse Arts District and help solidify New Orleans' prominence as a progressive and thriving arts community. It will challenge pre-existing ideas about how the public sees and experiences the visual arts. By design, it will advance our community's reputation, as this new facility becomes a national model for how to effectively galvanize working visual artists and produce a nexus of creative innovation, while simultaneously inspiring a connection between the public and the artists.
