A resource for those in the creative industry recently displaced by the on-going situation in New Orleans and the surrounding region…
There are a lot of displaced individuals out there who've recently lost a great deal. Many of us watching the tragedy unfold have asked ourselves, "what can we do?" People have responded by offering shelter, a space in their homes. Many of the displaced—creative people like us—will have to start from scratch.
We wish to help by offering these people a space from which to earn a living, to re-establish self-sufficience... to get back on their feet. With this in mind, we have started this resource—a place where displaced individuals can be matched with those of us with some extra studio/office space, a desk (or table), a computer/phone/internet connection, or a handful of square feet from which they can start to work and continue to earn a living.
Also, D.Observer has a growing collection of resources for artists, designers, and architects
