***Please note that PhotoNOLA (coordinated by the New Orleans Photo Alliance) does not have a budget for producing, traveling or installing exhibitions.*** Most of the venues available through this matchmaking process will be alternative type venues, and artists are largely responsible for all of the expenses involved in showing, and in many cases the physical hanging of the exhibition.
