Call to Artists: Mural Project: Lower Ninth Ward

Deadline November 19, 2008 -- The St. Claude Initiative seeks local artists to participate in a large scale public mural project along St. Claude Avenue, in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward. If you are interested in using your art to help New Orleans neighborhoods recover, this proposal is for you.

Three years after the flooding that followed Hurricane Katrina, many of the businesses along St. Claude Avenue have yet to reopen. As a step towards reviving St. Claude Avenue, the St. Claude Initiative will undertake a large-scale construction and public art project spanning fifteen block faces along the street. Artists will be compensated for time and materials.
