ld0708> Twenty-one $25,000 Commissions Awarded 

The 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 Joan Mitchell Foundation
<http://www.joanmitchellfoundation.org/> ., 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:

Franco Alessandrini
Barry Bailey
Ryan Ballard
Raine Bedsole
Lou Blackwell
Marcus Brown
Christopher Scott Brumfield  
Catherine Burke
"Generic Art Solutions": Tony Campbell and Matt Vis
Eric Dallimore
Dawn DeDeaux
Paul Deo
Rashida Ferdinand
Mitchell Gaudet and Erica Larken
Shannon Landis Hansen and Erik Hansen
Sally Heller
Alex Podesta 
Christopher Saucedo
Cynthia Scott and Damon Rosenzweig 
Jim Sohr
Michel Varisco



The commissions provide the opportunity for local and regional artists to
showcase their work parallel to the upcoming 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 

The Joan Mitchell Foundation was established in April 1993 as a
not-for-profit corporation following the death of artist Joan Mitchell in
October 1992. The Foundation strives to fulfill Ms. Mitchell's goal to aid
and assist the needs of contemporary artists and to demonstrate that
painting and sculpture are significant cultural necessities.
