Thank you to Dan Cameron for speaking on Prospect.2 at our General Meeting in December
and to the committee chairs for a great event.
 
ABOUT PROSPECT NEW ORLEANS Have you seen P.2 yet? We hope you’ve all had a chance to begin to begin visiting the 16 Prospect venues around the city. If you haven’t, there’s still plenty of time to visit before January 29th.

Founded in 2008 by Dan Cameron, Prospect New Orleans is one of the leading biennials of international contemporary art in the United States. Conceived in the tradition of the great international biennials, such as the Venice Biennale and the Bienal de São Paulo, Prospect New Orleans showcases new artistic practices from around the world in settings that are both historic and culturally exceptional, and contributes to the cultural economy of New Orleans and the Louisiana Gulf region by spurring cultural tourism and bringing international attention to the area's vibrant visual arts community.
Prospect New Orleans is founded on the principle that art engenders social progress. It is organized by U.S. Biennial, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit art organization that launched in January 2007 in order to realize Prospect.1.
