New Orleans
This coming Sunday, October 26th, the City of New Orleans is having a Route 66 Party downtown on Canal Street at the end by the River. The event organizers would like to incorporate some sort of tribute to the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette by having Corvettes on display at Sakks Dept Store at the Canal Place Mall. So far I have 7 Corvette wanting to particiapte, and I am here looking for more. Email me ASAP for details if you are interested: etagesen@***.net

I. Executive Summary: Canal Street Projection Project
Organization: Nightworks
Contact: Virginia McCollam or Stephanie Dupuy
Project Description: The Canal Street Projection Project is envisioned as an outdoor gallery of new media content open to the public and celebrating art, technology, and commerce. Supported by the City of New Orleans and the New Orleans Media Experience, the Projection Project is a first time event. For seven nights, the works of filmmakers, video artist, animators, creators of computer graphics, flash art, music videos, and video games will illuminate 5 city blocks of historic Canal Street in the city of New Orleans from 6 PM to Midnight. The street where movies where first shown in America in a theatrical setting will be morphed into a near virtual world of super scale imagery. The Canal Street Projection Project goes up on October 25th and goes black at Midnight on Halloween Night. Live events, music, special screenings, VJ's and special tributes with name participants will fill the program of high end, very visual, and very visible imaging. The Projection Project is designed to celebrate the best of new media, and share that celebration with the thousands of people who will experience the gallery as a texture of visual art.
Purpose: The Projection Project will create a spectral bridge between a much lauded visual past and a much anticipated future. Participants will enjoy not only a highly visible but a highly visual context for the display of their new technology, art imagery and advertising art. The dazzle of the imaging will function as an immediate branding for the New Orleans Media Experience Festival of Convergence. Beyond that, the projection corridor will present a new vision to and of the City of New Orleans that will capture the attention of world audiences and press. Without losing the beauty and culture of New OrleansÂ’ 19th century world, the city will appear in the streaming images of her future.
Mission Statement: It is the intention of The Canal Street Projection Project to become a yearly New OrleansÂ’ Signature Event that will showcase the creative uses of new technology. It is our purpose to engage people of all ages in an immediate way, in a visual way, in the accessibility of our digital future. From the playground to boardroom, we want all people to join us in a celebration of our past as we prepare to meet our future across the digital divide. We will actively pursue Community Partners whose participation with The Projection Corridor, the Host City and our Sponsors, will carry the message from the screens to the streets, and fuel the creative ambition of individuals and businesses, young and old, across the communities in the years to come.
Project Site: Canal Street from Camp and Chartres running towards the river and sweeping around to the Hilton Hotel on S. Front Blvd. represents the length of the Projection Corridor. From S. Peters to S. Front abutting Poydras will be come a pedestrian mall each evening for the event. A variety of walls and building facades will receive projections. No screens will be hung on walls. The walls are the screens.
Project Goals: To “revision” Canal Street as a lasting and main artery of New Orleans as a hub of artistic and innovative activity. The Project intends to become a visual forum for new visual art forms and artists that will bring attention and new opportunities to the City of New Orleans. The projection project is also intended to allow local and regional artists to share their work in a group show that is open to the public and for those same artists to experience the works of artists beyond our immediate region.
Population Served: The Projection Corridor will be enjoyed by participants and observers alike who will immediately experience the work in a large scale format that will draw forth for discussion, new and interesting aspects of the work. The Projection Project conservatively expects over 100,000 people to see and experience the corridor over the course of the week.
Funding: In its inaugural year, the Canal Street Projection Project relies on the support of the City of New Orleans, organizations supporting the arts, Technical Sponsors and the sale of advertising windows.
Content: 70% of the content is dedicated to art, film, video art, animation, computer graphics, flash art, and other new media. The CSPP has put a “Call to Artists” out supported by arts and films organizations around the world. Submissions are from all over the world, all communities, all ethnicities. Canal Street will celebrate diversity in culture in a “large” and unique way. We will be showing the works of artists from the US, Israel, Czech Republic, England, Italy, Germany, Spain, Peru, and many countries in between.
