About "Art in Public Places":
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.


Artists from Louisiana and Mississippi who were affected by Katrina or Rita
were eligible to apply through a Call to Artists advertised by the Arts
Council of New Orleans.  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, twenty commissions funded by the Joan
Mitchell Foundation were awarded.
