Material Institute is ready to go deep and transform.
We’re pausing public programs and activities in the upcoming months to embark on a Chrysalis Year — a period of slowing down, reflection, research, and design. We’re getting to the root to evolve towards organizational unification.
We are a nonprofit arts center in New Orleans’ 9th Ward that expands access to resources for a new generation of New Orleans artists.
