SUMMARY:GiveNOLA Day Walk in the Woods with David Baker
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate GiveNOLA Day by joining us for a Walk in the Woods with Environmental Curator David Baker! \nMake a gift that will grow! This year GiveNOLA day donations will support our ongoing work of tending to the forest\, which itself provides so much inspiration and care to our residents. \nSince 2004\, our on-site Environmental Curator\, David Baker\, has cared for\, researched\, and nurtured the woods\, serving as an interpreter of the natural environment for residents and the community\, and anchoring all of our work within the bottomland hardwood forest. As the climate crisis intensifies\, hurricanes become more frequent\, and the forest endures\, we ground our work in the land itself\, looking to the woods as an example of how we can adapt to a changing world. This GiveNOLA Day\, we hope that you will join us in this exchange with the forest by making a donation to support our work or walking in the woods with David. \nRegister below and don’t forgot to support A Studio in the Woods this GiveNOLA Day. Early giving is now open. \nAll GiveNOLA day donations over $50 will be entered to win a weekend getaway in our new Writer’s Cabin this summer! Take a tour of this tranquil space here.\n \n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Desiree S. Evans
DESCRIPTION:Join us and New Orleans Center for the Gulf South to meet and learn more about current Gulf South Writer in the Woods Desiree S. Evans!  Desiree will give a short presentation followed by a light dinner and refreshments outdoors. At A Studio in the Woods\, 13401 Patterson Rd. New Orleans 70131. Registration required below.  Proof of vaccination or negative PCR test within 72 hours required for those 5 and up. Directions here. \nAs the third Gulf South Writer in the Woods\, Desiree S. Evans will be completing work on a dystopian literary fantasy novel set hundreds of years into the future along what remains of the Gulf Coast. The novel tells the story of an African-American woman and her family surviving in a post-climate change world where most of Louisiana is under water. In this phantasmagorical new landscape\, monsters of myth and legend converge alongside stories of our past and dreams of our possible futures. As a work of speculative fiction and eco-fabulism\, the novel makes its home alongside the growing canon of literature exploring the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Desiree will also spend time during her residency editing her short-fiction collection — an interlinked series of stories steeped in the folklore\, mythology\, and history of the bayou communities of rural Louisiana. As a Louisiana native\, the Gulf South region plays an important role in Desiree’s writing. In taking readers into her speculative Southern landscapes\, she aims to showcase the rich heritage and cultural traditions of a place that is sometimes more water than land. Desiree’s stories exist in a space where storms and rivers rage\, where ancestors call\, and where magic just might be real enough to touch. \nDesiree S. Evans is an award-winning writer\, scholar\, and activist from South Louisiana. She writes fiction for children\, teens\, and adults. She is a 2020 winner of the Walter Dean Myers Grant for children’s fiction awarded by the organization We Need Diverse Books. She is a contributor to the anthology Foreshadow: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading and Writing YA (Algonquin Young Readers\, 2020). Her creative writing has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net\, and has appeared in literary journals such as Gulf Coast\, The Offing\, Nimrod Journal\, Cosmonauts Avenue\, and other venues. Her work has received support from the Voices of Our Nations Arts Foundation (VONA/Voices)\, Kimbilio Fiction\, the Callaloo Creative Writing Workshop\, the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund\, the Hurston/Wright Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Desiree holds an MFA in creative writing from the Michener Center for Writers at The University of Texas at Austin\, an MA in international policy from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs\, and a BA in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. \nGulf South Writer in the Woods\, a program of A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South\, supports the creative work\, scholarship and community engagement of writers examining the Gulf South region.\nRegister here for Artist Salon with Desiree S.

SUMMARY:Fishes: Masters of Adaptation – Workshop and Tour of the Royal D. Suttkus Fish Collection
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and biologist Brandon Ballengée for an art-science workshop on Gulf fish species diversity\, natural history and specimen drawing! We will tour Tulane University’s Royal D. Suttkus Fish Collection (the largest collection of preserved fishes on the planet!) in Belle Chasse followed by a drawing workshop on-site in one of the fish labs. \nFishes are by far the most successful group of vertebrates (animals with backbones) to ever occupy Earth. Fish are marvels of adaptation and resilience\, occupying almost all bodies of water on our planet\, and scientists have described over 34\,000 species with new species being found all the time! However\, overfishing\, oil spills\, changes to habitats and climate have caused many species to decline. The Gulf of Mexico is home to 77 endemic fishes\, found nowhere else in the world\, and many of these have not been reported in recent decades. \nThis event is part of Searching for the Ghosts of the Gulf\, a collaborative project with the Plaquemines Parish Government supported by an Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.\nRegister here for Workshop with Brandon Ballengée
