Recent New Orleans resident, Ethan Dawes, aims to capture New Orleans as the city has introduced herself to him; in smiles and celebration. Full of people that say “yes” to the moment. Dawes aims to share his experience here by exhibiting his work in such a way that celebrates the Crescent City’s accessible beauty.

The exhibition takes place for one weekend only. The installation is displayed in a low-impact, familiar way. All prints are editions of one, specific to the show, and affordable. Guests are invited to select and take the pieces off the wall themselves, once purchased, encouraging audience interaction. This playful element not only allows the show to change over time, creating a different experience for the following viewers, but also embodies Dawes’ idea that New Orleans is there, waiting for anyone who’s ready to reach for it.
