Press Release
22 August 2020 (New Orleans, LA)JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY proudly presents the 24th Annual NO DEAD ARTISTS International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art. For the 2020 installment of the exhibition, the gallery will host works by fifteen artists from and/or working across the United States, as well as, Argentina, the UK, Cuba, Austria, and Costa Rica. The exhibition will be on view from 22 August to 30 September 2020 with a scheduled self-guided art walk on 5 September 2020 from 10 am - 5 pm in conjunction with the Arts District New Orleans’ (ADNO) First Saturday Art Stroll.
The NO DEAD ARTISTS exhibition was founded by Jonathan Ferrara in 1995 to give a voice to emerging artists. The exhibition's name is derived from the old adage that artists never achieve success until they are dead. NO DEAD ARTISTS turns that notion on its head and often gives emerging artists their first break in the art world. In the 90's, the exhibition was open to New Orleans-based artists and subsequently grew to include artists of Louisiana, then becoming a national juried exhibition in 2010. And in 2014, the exhibition went international. Now in its 24th iteration, the exhibition has been a springboard for numerous artists; leading to national press coverage, recognition, gallery representation and acquisitions by museums and other prominent collections.
