This post is part of our continuing efforts to post information about free and low cost events in the metro area as we recognize the financial challenges that many cancer survivors and their families face.
Prospect.4, The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp, is the fourth iteration of the triennial citywide art installation. All throughout New Orleans you’ll find sculptures, paintings, and unique works of art stemming from the exhibition’s inspiration: the lotus plant. Prospect New Orleans sets out to create collaborative and community engagement through art, culture, and education.

In addition to the environment native to New Orleans, the culture the city was founded on also serves as inspiration as New Orleans celebrates its Tricentennial. Just as the lotus rises in spite of the swamp, so did New Orleans thrive in spite of its toughest times throughout its 300-year history.
