View as Map

Happy prospecting (that is what you call it when you attend Prospect.3 galleries, right?) and happy Halloween!

Atemporal Macramé (Kitschy Kitschy Cuckoo)

Copy Link

When your first Prospect.3 event elicits absolute awe and zero photos due to distraction by the art itself, you're probably doing something right. So goes Atemporal Macramé (Kitschy Kitschy Cuckoo) at 723 Louisa Street Digest. Open all of Prospect.3 with coffee served Monday mornings from 10am-12pm, Digest not only brings you art but a communal atmosphere in which to enjoy it. Potluck Brunches with full showings of works by collective the Crypto-Data Actualists of the Amphibidiculous Dusk will take place November 9th, December 14th, and January 11th from 11am to 3pm.

Condensed Milk

Copy Link

Art collective Aquarium Studios knows how to serve it up sweet at their Bywater gallery. Their Condensed Milk exhibit, running Saturdays in November from noon to 5pm and by appointment offers up the kind of playful, saccharine works from its members that have even prompted Shake Sugary to sell pies during their Prospect 3 run.

Good Children Gallery

Good Children Gallery's "Crowning Glory" celebrates the focused energy of its artists as they explore the many facets of the building in which they're showing. That exhibit runs from now until January 4th, with weekend hours running Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5pm. Shortly after this exhibit ends, Stephen Collier's "The Pigeons in This Town Taste Like Shit" will be just starting up. Collier's visceral, visual artistry uses the versatile mediums of drawing, sculpture, and video to paint a picture of the leisure class at their worst.

IMPERMANENCE

Copy Link

Impermanence delves into the vibrant street art scene of New Orleans with artists working alongside each other and in conjunction with other Prospect.3 works. As with any outdoor mural, the piece is on display perpetually, but be on the lookout for a time lapse of Impermanence and its ever-changing facade.

New Orleans Community Print Shop
