Tayari's Blog: Restoring New Orleans

From the website:

As our response to the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, A Studio in the Woods has created eight four-week residencies during February 2006-January for New Orleans visual artists, musicians, composers, writers and performing artists who have lost their homes, studios and/or work in the hurricane and are either displaced in other cities and communities or back home in New Orleans without resources.

Residencies provide lodging, food, studio space and uninterrupted time in the rustic, natural setting in a bottomland hardwood forest on the West Bank of New Orleans. Also provided are transportation costs to and from New Orleans and within the city and a $2000 stipend.
