Catalogue had the opportunity to provide a special edition listing for St. Claude Satellite spaces during the opening night of Prospect.2. The printed Catalogues will be available on the buses and along the route.

It is a free, multi-venue art event on Oct. 22 from 6 p.m. – 12 a.m. to correspond with the opening weekend of Prospect.2, the international art biennial in New Orleans.  

St. Claude Satellites will involve live music, performances, and gallery exhibitions that showcase a multitude of local artists to visitors from around the world. A free shuttle will transport arts patrons from the primary Prospect.2 gallery and hotel cluster in the Central Business District to the St. Claude Corridor for the duration of the Satellites event. Food trucks parked along St. Claude Avenue will provide food and bars and restaurants in the area will welcome Satellites patrons.

The Sept/Oct 2011 edition of Catalogue has arrived. It will be making its debut at Culture Collision 3, tonight 5.30 to 8p at the New Orleans Museum of Art with free food and drinks at the after-party in the Sculpture Garden outside from 8 to 10p with music by DJ Matty.

Not bad for a Wednesday night, so come grab a copy, hang out and see what some of the other organizations have going on for the city as well.

PS- Thanks to everyone who has donated to make this happen. With this tremendous support- we are able to make this service to our community and our artists. Thank you.

Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed to Catalogue, getting us off the ground and into print, and ultimately into your hands in hopes you discover something new in our city. August 31st marks the day of the end of our Kickstarter fundraising.

The Sept/Oct Edition of Catalogue is on a truck on its way to New Orleans.

Again, thank you for allowing us to continue to support our artists.

Catalogue is on its way to New Orleans soon. We should be receiving it in a few days. We will be blanketing the city, or as much as we can with the initial print of 3000. If you would like to help out, street team distribution style: Feel free to get in touch with us at: catalogue@weareconstance.org

If you aren’t familiar with this, Catalogue is a free city map of New Orleans that plots art galleries and institutions with an accompanying cohesive bi-monthly gallery guide listing.

The purpose of Catalogue is to unify galleries and institutions spread throughout the city, helping locals and visitors alike to venture out with something portable and informative about openings around town. To date, there has not been anything like this- and with so much energy in the arts, Prospect.2 and the ever-growing number of galleries, it stands to reason our city can support such a program.

In the coming months we will have opportunities for those interested in Catalogue or Constance. Feel free to get in touch with us.

Again- the tremendous support that has poured in financially from sponsors, through wonderful emails from Kickstarter supporters and the encouragement from our friends and the community has definitely put us over the top. 

Catalogue was sent to print yesterday to our friends in Manitoba- and we hope to have them back very soon. We will be sharing the guides generously at the Third Annual Culture Collision at the New Orleans Museum of Art on Sep. 7th, as well as distributing them around town to all galleries and institutions. We are looking for a few good ladies and gentlemen to help us with this endeavor in hitting over 80 spots in the city of New Orleans.

To all those interested in street team style distribution, please email: catalogue@weareconstance.org

Above is the final, populated map to be included in the initial print of Catalogue.

Everyone-

Huge thanks to all who have contributed and may do so in the future. This is a big milestone for us and proves to everyone how useful they may find Catalogue as a tool. So we are over our $ 4000 mark- but we would like to set the bar higher and get to $ 6000. I think we can do it and it will keep us set for most of the year.

We also wanted to share with you the latest map for Catalogue. We needed to expand and re-set our framing of New Orleans.

Do pass on the good news and let people know we have another 2 weeks left of fundraising. Any and all can help. Again- we are extremely grateful and cannot wait to send out our rewards.
