Humid Beings

L9 Center for the Arts is an artist-run community arts center founded in the Lower Ninth Ward in 2007 by New Orleans photographers Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick. The Center, a Victorian shotgun house on the corner of Chartres Street and Caffin Avenue, was purchased by Calhoun and McCormick following the destruction of their home by Hurricane Katrina. Initially intending to live in the building, they recognized the need for a creative center in the midst of the devastation wrought by the storms of 2005, particularly in the hard-hit Lower Ninth Ward. The structure has been transformed into a bright and lively gallery space in which artists, such as world-renowned Mark Bradford, can work and share their creative visions with local residents.
