Antenna has provided support and opportunities for artists in the form of residencies, exhibitions, publications, and public events. Through its residency programs, Antenna provides artists with an introduction to New Orleans history and culture, and the opportunity to produce a specific project, often engaging their vast network of community partners and local cultural organizations to provide additional support. Antenna recently expanded its sizable publication and print operations, with the opening of Paper Machine, an independent, commercial print shop run by Antenna staff. The facility also houses a new residency program designed for artists experimenting with work in print; residents are encouraged to utilize the shop’s significant traditional and contemporary printing resources to create ambitious new projects. From 2020 through 2022, Antenna will organize its programs according to specific curatorial themes meant to unify and make clear the organization’s activities to the public. Throughout 2020, work will be presented under the banner of 20/20 Reflections on Water, with exhibitions and artist projects that offer a range of viewpoints on the role that water plays in human existence.

Spread from Antenna’s most recent publication by Brandon Ballengée, Collapse. The book is a catalog of species affected by the BP Oil spill, and was originally planned to accompany a (postponed) exhibition commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon. https://brandonballengee.com/
Creative Response! Art Kit. Between April and June 2020, Antenna collaborated with a network of New Orleans arts organizations and artists to distribute 14,000 free stay-at-home activity at family meal distribution sites. In response to our community’s changing needs during the pandemic Platforms Fund, a regranting program of the Warhol Foundation, switched gears to offer emergency funds to creators and culture bearers as the “New Orleans Creative Response” in a partnership between Antenna, Ashé Cultural Arts Center, Junebug Productions and The Weavers Fellowship.
