The Nola Art House is a Creole mansion (built c.1870) located on Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans's Faubourg Tremé. The House is rumored to have been the original House of the Rising Sun, as reported in several guidebooks and on Jaohn Orgon founded the space in 2005 in order to offer affordable housing to New Orleans-based artists. The vision was to maintain a facility which would unite professional artists with one another, who in turn could exchange ideas and feedback, or collaborate with one another on projects. The house is divided into private rooms that double as studio workspaces. Additionally, the house's parlors and expansive hallways afford a professional gallery space for residents to showcase their work.

Artists." Molly Reid, 2007
Yeah, we live here.
And we might be looking for new housemates. Aside from the treehouse, and the swimming hole, and the location, and the inclusive utilities, and the parties, and the stories we'll have to tell to our robot grandchildren, one of the best things about the Art House is the opportunity this place presents us to meet new people and explore new avenutes of creativity. So if you're an artist who's interested in joining the groovy thing we've got going on here, use the contact button up top to send us an email with a brief introduction , a summary of your concentration, and (if you have it) a wesbite with a few examples of your work. We'll be in touch shortly.
