IN THE KNOW
“Culture bearers and artists are vital links of communication and natural community educators. In the Know recognizes this and is an effort to build an intentional connection between them and scholars, researchers and data sharers, with an eye toward widening the platforms, approaches and interpretation of the story of us being told by the knowledge makers and gatherers.”

IN THE KNOW is a call to an important communication network of culture-bearers, artists, creatives, innovators, cultural and social entrepreneurs, in the City of New Orleans. They will receive a here and now assessment on the quality of Life and the human condition for people within New Orleans and our geographical region.
Getting the word out calls us to use every network possible to achieve optimal responses toward improvements in our communities.
The cultural and creative community is a under-utilized resource in our general efforts to improve the quality of life for our neighbors and fellow New Orleanians. Animating the imagination, the activism and the networks of our cultural and creative communities to know, understand or act immediately, exponentially expands the learning curve of our neighbors.
