The Acadiana Arts Council recently announced the creation of Project HEAL to
assist artists impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Project HEAL (Helping Employ
Artists Locally) offers displaced artists employment opportunities in local
communities. Artists working in a wide range of disciplines including dance,
design arts, folk life, literature, media, music, theatre and visual arts
are now being recruited for programs designed in partnership with local arts
organizations and venues. Seamlessly integrating artists impacted by
Hurricane Katrina into existing Acadiana Arts Council programs will quickly
and directly assist those artists in immediate need of financial assistance.
