Donate to Arts New Orleans
Help us build a city where art is everywhere and for everyone.
Every Donation Makes Art Happen.
New Orleans isn't just a place where art exists. It's a place where art thrives on every corner, in every neighborhood, through every season. From murals that transform blank walls into storytelling canvases to festivals that light up our nights, from young artists finding their voices to established creators pushing new boundaries, we're Making Art Happen every single day.
Every gift strengthens this creative ecosystem.
Why Your Support Matters
While we receive restricted funding from the City of New Orleans for specific projects and earn revenue through commissions, these sources don't cover what it truly takes to Make Art Happen across our community. The youth discovering their creative potential, the murals and sculptures that make our neighborhoods more vibrant—these all depend on supporters like you.
Every contribution is tax-deductible. Every dollar goes toward Making Art Happen through:
- Young Artist Movement (YAM) – Our youth arts education and workforce development program that builds creative futures for New Orleans youth
- Public Art – Transformative projects that make our city's streets, parks, and public spaces more vibrant and meaningful
- Arts Market New Orleans – An entrepreneurial platform for local artists to launch careers, showcase creations, and make a living
- LUNA Fête – Our festival of light, art, and technology that reimagines what's possible in public space
- Artist Training & Development – Professional development opportunities that help artists expand their skills and build sustainable careers
Making Art Happen Takes All of Us
When you give to Arts New Orleans, you're not just supporting individual programs. You're contributing to a city where creativity isn't a luxury but a necessity, where artists can thrive, where culture isn't preserved in amber but constantly renewed and reimagined.
You're Making Art Happen.
