We thought to present a special request for images to encourage and inspire global solidarity and communities today in the time of COVID-19.

In these times it is our duty as creators and content editors to show our full potential and ensure security. We are in the midst of an ongoing global crisis and although there is an economic downfall and a disastrous loss of life, this crisis is revealing to us even more that our differences are only riches, but that we all share the same burdens.

We are all equal as human beings, we are all within this problem, what we need right now is to preserve the lives of those weaker than us and our tireless workers such as: doctors, nurses, cashiers and employees in open shops. We act as if we are infected by staying in our homes, reducing our interactions with other people.

Image creators around the world have the power and creativity to visualize this important message - with intelligence, humor and compassion. Present the images you are taking or processing directly from your home or quarantine location.

A selection of the submitted projects will be published on our instagram @kaktuszine account and part of this selection will be published in a Special Paper Magazine, which will be available for sale online.

A selection of Content Creators will be contacted for an interview which will then be published in our stories on instagram and part of this selection will be published in a Special Magazine.

24th Annual NO DEAD ARTISTS: International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art

JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY proudly hosts an annual call for artists for the 24th Annual NO DEAD ARTISTS: International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art. The call is open through 17 JUNE 2020 and the exhibition participants are selected by an ever-changing group of three prestigious arts professionals. The exhibition itself is installed in the gallery for the entire month of September with an opening reception in conjunction with the Arts District New Orleans' First Saturday Gallery Openings on 5 September 2020, 6-9pm.

The exhibition was created in 1995 to give a voice to emerging artists. NO DEAD ARTISTS has become an exhibition that has time and again discovered new and emerging talent and is one of the most celebrated art exhibitions in the South. 

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 gives emerging artists their first break in the art world. In the '90s, the exhibition was open only to New Orleans artists and subsequently grew to include artists of Louisiana. In 2010, the exhibition expanded to become a national juried exhibition open to artists from the entire United States and the call went international in 2014.

Each year, hundreds of artists submit thousands of works with the hope of being in the select few to exhibit at JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY. The exhibition is reviewed annually by D. Eric Bookhardt (Artpapers and Gambit Weekly). The opening reception marks the beginning of the arts season in New Orleans and is attended by thousands of art enthusiasts. 

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. Each year the gallery invites a panel of renowned arts professionals and collectors to select the newest creative talents.

As the GRAND PRIZE, one jury-winning artist is awarded a solo exhibition at JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY to take place the following year.
