As the city of New Orleans commemorates the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath that caused the nation to pause, the Ashé Cultural Arts Center is honoring that memory through art, stories, and memorabilia through the exhibition, OLD ORLEANS: NOT 4 SALE, NOT 4 PROFIT.

Photography & Writer’s Exhibition:

This exhibition showcases images of New Orleans then & now. It acknowledges both what we lost and what we gained. This collection calls for images of pre and post-Katrina events, places, city departments, and familiar faces. It calls for stories of the rise in nonprofit organizations post Katrina, the effects of gentrification and memories of old New Orleans that complement each piece of photography.

All artwork must be original and created entirely by the artist(s). The deadline for the Katrina 20 Exhibition Artist Call is Friday August 1, 2025.
