Katrina Artists Relief is the new undertaking by Artspace and Shreveport Regional Arts Council. "At this point it's less about art and expression at Artspace and more about art and helping people," said Artspace artistic director Bill Joyce.
Some 50 artists and administrators met at Artspace Saturday to mark the cancellation of the Dia De Los Muertos exhibit (in truth, postponed for a year) and to plan the post-Katrina arts-minded outreach.

Among the bright spots at the meeting was a donation of the use of a riverfront building by Jodie Glorioso. Sandi Kallenberg also announced donation of $10,000 for Artists Relief efforts by her husband's company. Pam Atchison said that she would be shocked if any arts grants monies continued to flow from Baton Rouge.
