This decision follows several months of evaluating how the Center could best fulfill artists’ essential needs for space and community to advance their practices amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, recognizing the potential health threat that travel and on-site living may pose to artists-in-residence. Artists living outside of New Orleans who were chosen for 2020 residencies will have their placements deferred until 2022. Local artists selected for residency this year have the option to participate in the modified program, which is currently slated to start on September 8 and conclude in February 2021.
