Call to Artists: Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans

The goal of the Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans is to equip artists with tools and strategies for picking up the unfinished work of history and speak to contemporary civic discourse around social, economic, and environmental issues. Through interactive sessions in the Lab and panel discussions as part of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire 50th Anniversary Commemoration, artists will explore their process and practice; present a slideshow of their work; receive supportive, critical, curatorial feedback about their ideas; and discuss contemporary issues. 

Collage in Motion at Kolaj Fest New Orleans

Kolaj Institute seeks short films and other sorts of moving images for a screening as part of Kolaj Fest New Orleans. Collage on Screen will take place at 5:30PM on 8 June 2023 at Broad Theatre in New Orleans. Collage on Screen will focus on works that are generally between 1 and 15 minutes long. (The organizers may ask the creators for an excerpt from work if it is longer than 15 minutes.) Our goal is to showcase the diversity of this medium. Afterwards we will host The Pixel Party at 7PM at The Broadside, next door to the theater, which will feature submitted gifs projected onto the walls and have live music, food and a cash bar. The films will be featured in the festival program book.

Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2023: Call for Papers, Artists & Projects

How do you want to manifest at Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2023?

Kolaj Fest New Orleans is a multi-day festival and symposium, 7-11 June 2023. Our mission is to create a platform that allows us to explore critical issues around collage (how it is curated and presented, its role in contemporary art, and the tensions between collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a movement.)

Our goal is to create an event that attracts a variety of people working in various capacities, such as art professionals at museums, galleries, and centers as well as academics, writers, and artists. The general public will be invited to join us for gallery visits, evening presentations, and collage making.
