7/09: Studio at Colton will be closing July 31, 2009.

CANO is currently working to secure an alternate space to relocate its artist residency and education program. Check back soon for updates.

Studio at Colton School is an innovative and educational studio and presentation environment providing both studio and exhibition space to facilitate the creative activity of New Orleans area.

There are nearly 100 artists of all disciplines and cultural organizations working with students in a collaborative workshop environment. This program aims to showcase the creative products of the region and to help students improve their creative skills and work habits as well as expand their performance and career expectations.

The program also aims to foster exploration of new media, innovation, and expanded networks of collaboration between creative disciplines in the greater New Orleans area. These collaborative efforts are expected to result in important new work and to expand opportunities for the creative sector of the region's economy.

Finally, this program is intended to communicate to the global marketplace the skills, talents, and creative products and trends of the Greater New Orleans region.
