In effort to fuel the art industry, we consider ourselves a stepping stone no matter where artists or industry workers are in their career path. We serve local musicians, grassroot artists, production companies, independent venues & community vendors by helping the industry’s wellbeing and economic welfare one program at a time.

​

Our largest project of the year is Moonshadow Festival. It’s a weekend, overnight camping event focused on music, healing and art. 

 

This yearly endeavor inspires positive social change by challenging each other to exchange ideas, unite minds and make waves that can be brought home through our independent, local artists that set up installations, classes, performances, live painting, and more. Moonshadow also features a diverse blend of music from mainly New Orleans talent showcasing genres from funk, jazz, soul, country, indie, punk, rock, & jam with late night electronica festivities to end the night! Our festival ground is at the Abita Springs Be & Be, which is about an hour away from the city. This 88-acre property is sacred, special and secluded. Lastly, our designated sanctuary tent includes wellness activities such as mindfulness workshops, yoga classes, self development seminars, and more! 

 

Research suggests that engagement within a community event enhances an audience’s mood and creates a sense of belonging. So, as a nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to using our resources, collaborators, and audience to strengthen this sense of wellbeing together through art.

Our second on-going project is called Orchid Orchard, which is a pro-bono consulting service to artists in town looking to level up in their pursuit of art as a career. This program is still in pilot phase, and will officially launch in January 2023. The program will be taking applications and committing to helping three to five artists on a one-year commitment basis.
