Details

NOLA Constructive serves as a forum for honest and anonymous art criticism of art shown in the greater New Orleans area. Functioning as a virtual critique, the discussions and ideas posted to the forum offer constructive and catalyzing feedback for artists working and exhibiting here. Please contribute anonymous assessments of works you have seen lately to http://nolaconstructive.blogspot.com

Project Scope: Vision, Aim, & Objectives

Why this project is being done:
An honest critical assessment may go a long way in providing some necessary outside (and work changing) insight for the contemporary artists in New Orleans who do not regularly receive critical feedback about their work.
Who or what this project would impact:
Art viewers take ownership of their experience through writing, while artists receive critical feedback about their work. This should challenge both the viewer and the artist and ultimately create better work and art community in New Orleans.
Project intends to address:
This blog responds to the lack of critical public response to New Orleans art. What little art criticism can be found is largely congratulatory, perfunctory, poorly written, out of touch, incomplete, or unhelpful. And, there's not enough of it.
Included or excluded:
The virtual critique blog accepts honest critical assessments of any artwork viewed recently in the greater New Orleans area by anonymous posters/viewers of any age. We do reserve the right to edit or remove any malicious content prior to posting.
