New Orleans Photo Alliance and Kolaj Institute present:

WHERE PHOTOGRAPHY MEETS COLLAGE 

Work by Collins Walker 

New Orleans Photo Alliance proudly hosts the open call for artists working at the intersection of photography and collage for a Juried Exhibition. The call is open through May 5, 2024, and the exhibition participants will be selected by a group of prestigious arts professionals. The exhibition itself is installed in the gallery for June and July with an opening reception on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, from 5:30-8:00 pm as part of Kolaj Fest New Orleans.

The exhibition aims to show artwork that operates at the intersection of these two mediums. Selected artists will have their work exhibited in the New Orleans Photo Alliance Center, 7800 Oak Street, New Orleans.

Having spent 35 years as a biological scientist Don Norris knows a thing or two about the close examination of a subject; with his portfolio, Southern Vernacular he brings this same formalistic inquiry to his photographs of single southern buildings in a landscape.

The New Orleans Photo Alliance (NOPA) is seeking a creative and personable Executive Director to lead the organization into its second decade. This marks the first time that NOPA, a democratic organization established by dedicated volunteers, will hire a full-time salaried employee.

David Armentor is a local boy from New Iberia, or more specifically, Loreauville, LA—a town of 1000 on Lake Fausse Pointe, near Bayou Teche.  Of Cajun descent, David’s grandparents spoke French; but his parents did not, so consequently neither does he.  David describes his family as more musical than artistic, in fact at an early age David himself played the guitar, albeit “horribly” he says.
