Antenna

Antenna Press is dedicated to making digitally printed books that align with Antennas mission to provide support for cultural contributors and cultural bearers who produce projects at the intersection of Gender and Identity, the Environment, Equity, Renewable Resources, Abolition, Restorative Justice, and the histories of the Gulf South. Through self publishing, open calls for Antenna Press publications and community outreach, we work with artists and writers who want to see their creative ideas manifest in book form. Paper Machine, our digital printshop and bookbindery is located in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.

The Spillways residency is a way of providing the meaningful dispersion of outside thought and practice into the city through the development of creative feats. Spillways hosts national and international artists, writers, and cultural organizers that are interested in developing projects within the greater New Orleans region, and whose efforts question, transform, or expand the vibrant visual and literary culture of the area. At least four residents are chosen each year to develop ambitious projects that aim for thoughtful public impact and engagement within the greater New Orleans region.

The Draw-a-thon, which is the only event of its kind in the city of New Orleans, is an art experience in which people are active participants- not spectators where the entire premise is to encourage creating for the sake of creating. It is an all-ages, free arts education event that is open to the public with all art materials provided. Serves 1500 annually.

Signals is a variety show-styled event with each issue featuring a cross discipline spread of 6-8 local artists, writers, musicians, scientists, activists and scholars whose practices relate thematically. The live magazine drops 4 times each year, accompanied by the release of two-dimensional print zines and now an online documentary series.
