Catalyst

August 29, 2015 – November 15, 2015.

The New Orleans Photo Alliance (NOPA), is proud to present Catalyst, a juried exhibition featuring the work of 18 photographers from across the United States.
Catalyst commemorates the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and focuses on themes of rebirth, rejuvenation, and transformation, celebrating the cultural vibrancy of post-Katrina New Orleans and the idea that prolific creation can come from destruction.

Artists selected for the exhibition are: Muffin Bernstein, Nicholas Fedak II, Terri Garland, Alison Gootee, Carol Guzy, Camille Lenain, Charles Lovell, Claire Mallet, Samantha Melfi, Caroyn Metzler, David Rae Morris, Eric Nunez, Thomas Pearson, Jared Ragland, Rebecca Rau, Karel Sloane-Boekbinder, Leona Strassberg Steiner, Mary Lou Uttermohlen.

The exhibition opens in the NOPA Gallery, 1111 St. Mary St., on Saturday, August 29, 2015 and will run through November 15th. An artist’s reception is scheduled for September 5th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Artists and the juror will be in attendance.
