Not the TV show! Kelly Lynn Jones from Little Paper Planes is interviewed on her project, gives us a cheat sheet to local affordable art resources.
We’re probably one of the newest newbies focusing on emerging contemporary art. We opened our artist run commercial gallery space, BECA gallery, just 4 months ago here in New Orleans with one of our goals being to offer a program that was truely mutually beneficial to both emerging artists and collectors. We’ve found that a fair share of our daily efforts involves breaking down the typical gallery stereotype that more people maintain than we first suspected. Once that is broken down and replaced with something more ‘humane’ (for lack of a better word) and informative via education and direct contact between collectors and artists, we are then able to gain greater exposure for the emerging artists we are working with. On the flipside, people new to collecting as well as established collectors seem to appreciate the absence of cold snobbery and elitism.
