No Dead Artists is an open, juried exhibition of Louisiana art today, says show founder Jonathan Ferrara.
The exhibition is designed to give a voice to underexposed artists.
Winner's work will be on display at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400a Julia Street, in the New Orleans Arts District, and selected jury winners will appear in a feature article in the September 4th issue of Gambit Weekly. In the article, art critic Eric Bookhardt will review the exhibition.
The annual event is designed to take the pulse of the creative scene in New Orleans and Louisiana. Is there a cultural renaissance taking place right now? This show may help art lovers decide.
All media are accepted, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, glass, metal work, mixed media, video, performance and installation art. Typically there are some 250 applications and the show is attended by thousands, claims Ferrara.
Deadline for postmarked material is Aug 2.
This year's sole juror is Dan Cameron, former curator of Visual Arts at the New Museum and currently the director of Visual Arts at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans.

New Orleans-Shreveport artist Mary Jane Potts is one of the artists selling via the Ferrara gallery.
