CANO’S Creative Space at Myrtle Banks
1307 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard
Central City, New Orleans
A project of Creative Alliance of New Orleans and
Alembic Community Development
In a re-purposed school in Central City, first opened with a welcoming party for Prospect 3, CANO continues its focus on social justice, civil rights and Central City related exhibitions there with the work of artist Kim Rice in “The Divide”. This exhibition illustrates the human damage of “redlining” a practice that denied loans to African Americans and other residents of lower income neighborhoods, depriving them of the economic and educational opportunities, even healthy lives, tied to property ownership. Rice’s work weaves roofing paper and maps into a Mississippi river framing. The gallery is on the building’s 3rd floor, Open to visitors weekdays. 9am – 5pm.
