Kolaj Fest

This summer, thousands of artists—specifically collage artists—will descend on New Orleans for the annual Kolaj Fest. This multi-day festival and symposium investigates the role of collage in contemporary arts culture, and how to elevate it further. Held in venues across the city, the event features dozens of events, including symposia on subjects like "The Art of Assembling a Child's World," "Collage as Architecture," and "Digital in the Real World," with input from expert speakers from across the visual arts spectrum. There will also be various roundtable discussions, panels, and workshops on everything from creating New Orleans wooden postcards to using cyanotype in collage. There will also be exhibits, museum tours, and markets throughout the course of the festival. Tickets are $175, granting access to all sessions and activities.
