The exhibit pairs 6 designers from New Orleans with 6 writers from Seattle, and vice-versa (or inversa: 6 Seattle designers created work for 6 NOLA writers). Copies of the posters will be available for purchase, with proceeds going to the Lens, a NOLA non-profit doing investigative journalism in the Gulf.

The exhibit is curated by Daniel R. Smith (Seattle) and Tom Futrell (NOLA).  Gallery hours are M-F 10-5; December 2nd First Thursday from 6-9.

Good times at Tether

We kicked off Bilocal, and the "12 Designers on Writing" exhibit at Tether last night--complete with cajun music by Les Chattes Créoles, coffee by Tully's, and some dead gorgeous weather.  Plenty of people came out, danced, bought posters, met some of the artists, and generally had a great time.  Thanks Dan Smith for curating, installing, and putting it all together, Stanley, Nancy, and the restof the Tether gang--you are awesome!
