Art and Death in New Orleans

I received this message from Mary Len Costa of the Arts Council of New Orleans today regarding Jacqueline Bishop's commentary on NPR entitled "Art and Death in New Orleans" about Art in New Orleans amid the violence.

"Hello:

The radio commentary below from New Orleans’ visual artist Jacqueline Bishop came out of California NPR station. It did not originally played on our local NPR station. It is good to hear someone say that the ARTS ARE BACK AND OPEN FOR BUSINESS in New Orleans. This commentary has gotten such good response from around the country, that the California station has asked Jackie to do a monthly commentary on arts in recovery in New Orleans.

Listen to the commentary: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6761681
