The exhibition Thirty New Orleans Artists will be held from September 8 to November 3, 2018, in the Second Story Gallery and is a visual arts program of the City of New Orleans' Tricentennial Celebration. New Orleans has been recognized nationally as an arts center; in July 2015 Hyperallergic reported that New Orleans was rated as the best city for creative workers. The city attracted noted artists to the French Quarter in the past century, commercial galleries continue to flourish on Julia Street in the Warehouse and CBD Arts District, while in the years since Hurricane Katrina, there has been an explosion of art galleries and artists spaces in the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods—in the St. Claude Arts District. Barrister’s Gallery, Second Story Gallery, Staple Goods Gallery, The Front, Good Children Gallery, Antenna, UNO St. Claude Gallery, Parse, Level Art Collective, Catylyst Collective, Politico Pop-Up and the New Orleans Arts Center are just a few of the 30-plus venues that currently showcase this dynamic emerging contemporary art scene. The Joan Mitchell Center, Prospect New Orleans, and Pelican Bomb where the jurors have recently worked represent three important contemporary art organizations that have led to the artistic rebirth of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It is hoped the resulting exhibition will reflect the resilience, multiculturalism and dynamism of the visual arts in New Orleans in the year 2018, during an important historical moment.
Venue: The location for the exhibition is the Second Story Gallery, an artist-run cooperative gallery located in the Healing Center in New Orleans’ burgeoning St. Claude Arts District. The Second Story Gallery offers over 1,500 square feet of gallery space at 2372 St. Claude Ave., on the corner of St. Claude and St. Roch, directly across from the St. Roch Market.
The St. Claude Arts District—an eclectic alternative art scene downriver from the French Quarter—is exploding with energy during our city’s Tricentennial celebration.
