US Airways - April 2013 - (Page 103)

Crescent City on Canvas New creative collaborations are cooking up a new kind of gumbo in New Orleans. I BY PAUL OSWELL t can’t be easy to oversee an artistic explosion, but the Creative Alliance of New Orleans (CANO) and the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation (LCEF) are happy to do just that. PHOTO (TOP) BY GEORGE LONG The organizations celebrate and spotlight the region’s vibrant cultural scene, which brims colorfully out of every neighborhood. “Creative artists of all disciplines formed the vanguard of people returning to the city after Hurricane Katrina,” says Jeanne Nathan, director of CANO. “We want to promote them and expand the areas of New Orleans that are welcoming to visitors.” The Tremé, the Ninth Ward, St. Claude, Holy Cross, MidCity, and Central City all teem with exciting creative projects, showcased through CANO’s regular tours which give a tantalizing insider’s glimpse of the New Orleans art scene. You can view a private art collection or catch a glimpse of artists’ work in studios or galleries. Southern gardens are in bloom yearround. The Botanical Garden in City Park leads the way. “There are exciting art collaborations between new and traditional artists in neighborhoods throughout the city,” Nathan says. “There’s been this incredible migration of creativity to New Orleans.” The LCEF shares CANO’s mission to promote the creative arts, nurturing artistic industries at a state level. CEO Aimee Smallwood sees culture as Louisiana’s greatest asset. “From the small French-speaking communities in Acadiana to the vibe of New Orleans, our culture makes Louisiana the place to be,” Smallwood says. You’ll find that signature Louisiana creativity everywhere, not just along a couple of streets in the French Quarter. CANO and LCEF know how to help you strike out and find those inspirational pockets of innovation. For more information on these groups, visit cano-la.org and culturaleconomy.org.
