The events surrounding 9-11 turned the tide of our nation's history and forever marked the beginning of a new era. Most of us remember where we were when the World Trade Center and the U.S. Pentagon were attacked and when the third plane crash-landed after being diverted from Washington, D.C. We as a nation and as a people have been working through the grief, loss, and rebuilding since that fatal morning over the course of the past decade. The museum is eager to assemble an exhibition that features artworks inspired by the events of 9-11 as artistic visual expressions that reflect the emotions and historical impact felt by artists at the time of the tragedies, since the events, or for the future.

Holiday Arts Tour: Call for Artists

NCLAC is now accepting applications from artists to participate in our 13th annual Holiday Arts Tour. We want to serve the artists in our region first, so we're inviting artists in Lincoln, Jackson, Claiborne, Bienville, and Union parishes to apply from August 13-27. Afterward, if there are host sites still available, we'll extend the call for artists beyond our region for two more weeks. Late applications from artists in our region will only be considered if a second call is issued. To ensure consideration, we want to encourage artists in our parishes to apply before August 27.

To download an Artist Application Packet, scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for our Shared Files. If you need any assistance with your application or if you have questions, please contact us.

If you have participated before, you will notice some additional requirements in the application packet. For example, we are including a Supplemental Artist Info form that we will use in creating publicity materials. As we choose artists, musicians, and businesses to participate this year, we will also post "feature" articles about them on the blog in the weeks leading up to the Tour.

We are making some exciting changes this year, so even if you have attended or participated in the Tour in the past, we encourage you to check out what’s new this year. For more details and regular updates, please subscribe to our blog.

More information about how businesses and sponsors can participate will be coming soon!
