With Gia Hamilton, Director of the JMC and Laura Morris, archivist at the Joan Mitchell Foundation
Join us on a tour of the Joan Mitchell Center, an artists' residency program established by the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Based in the culturally diverse and historic city of New Orleans, the Joan Mitchell Center’s mission is to support local, national, and international contemporary visual artists.
The Joan Mitchell Center is an artist residency center developed to offer both time and space for artists to create work in a contemplative environment. In addition to the Artist-in-Residence Program, the Center curates and produces public programming that serves the broader community of New Orleans, and endeavors to serve as an incubator, conduit and resource for partnerships in the arts.
The tour will be led by Gia Hamilton (Director of the Joan Mitchell Center) and Laura Morris (Archivist at the Joan Mitchell Foundation, New York), who will share about the Center as well as the Foundation's current research and exhibition projects in support of Joan Mitchell's legacy.
Tour participants should meet on the first level across from the bank of elevators, in front of the Spirits bar. Please be early, as tours will leave on time. Look for the tour leader’s purple Mardi Gras hat.
