Every three years, we invite artists from all over the world to create projects in a wide variety of venues spread throughout New Orleans. Many Prospect projects are rooted in social justice issues and the city of New Orleans itself. Each iteration of Prospect is organized by a leading voice in the curatorial field. For residents and visitors alike, Prospect is an invitation to experience the city through the eyes of artists.

Prospect is also more than a recurring exhibition. In collaboration with local organizations and community partners, our year-round programming generates platforms for past and present Prospect artists in our community, sparking dialogues with youth, students, and the general public.

We now serve as a model for the social and economic impact a citywide art exhibition can have. But to us, our work is much bigger than this city. We aim to also be a global model for crafting equal and inclusive communities--one voice, one creation, one daring question at a time.
