Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Front Gallery, is a Non-For-Profit Artist Run Exhibit space that serves the public by making art accessible. The venue at 4100 St. Claude Avenue is a frequent host to a range of free events that are open to the public, such as film screenings, community barbecues, and meetings between members of the St. Claude Arts District. Our programing also includes free, monthly exhibits and artist talks which delivers an exhibition calendar with an ambitious turnover of twelve to forty-eight new shows per year. We believe that showing artwork at The Front provides artists with a valuable and quantifiable opportunity to further their careers. Furthermore, the nature of The Front enables us to bring artists and audiences together who may not otherwise have the opportunity to meet.When the Front adds new artist, we hold an open call. This maintains an opportunity for local and national artist coming to New Orleans to participate in the art culture of this city by becoming a participant of the Fr

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In keeping with our mission statement, in 2017 The Front was proud to host an extensive roster of free programming aimed to bring accessible contemporary art to our immediate and surrounding community. This included a total of 27 separate exhibitions over the course of one calendar year, featuring the work of 71 local, national, and international artists. Our monthly openings (as well as 100% of our programming and events) are free to the public and reached an estimate of 2,500-3,000 members of our community in 2017. In addition to our regular monthly programming, we hosted a juried film festival competition that awarded a young artist with a cash prize, a panel discussion on collaboration with an emphasis on what it means to co-labor in a divided society, as well as several events supporting Prospect 4, a city-wide art triennial and fellow non-profit, and Deltaworkers, an international residency program based in the Gulf South. We are proud to provide a platform for artists to show their work, as well as an accessible space for our community to experience and interact with contemporary artwork. We look forward to continuing our mission in 2018.$7,896-
