Automata is an exhibition of kinetic and mechanical sculpture of all kinds. It will take place at the Ironworks warehouse at 612 Piety St., April 2-9, 2011.
We need to raise at least $10,000 for this year’s show to pay for:
- transport of heavy artwork from all over the U.S.
- individual grants to New Orleans and Louisiana artists for materials or something towards rent while they complete their work
- rent for the show location
The Cheap Art Auction is a LIVE AUCTION! Prices start at $5 or $10 unless otherwise specified by the artist. Money raised at this auction will go towards exhibition costs and to artists in New Orleans.
