Pelican Bomb[1] was a non-profit contemporary visual arts organization based in New Orleans that operated from 2011 through November 2018.
It was dedicated to making New Orleans a supportive place for artists to live and work via its public programming: an online art review, a community supported art program that promotes affordable art sales, a pop-up exhibition program that activates under-utilized and/or vacant spaces in New Orleans, and a critic-in-residence program.[2] In December 2014, Pelican Bomb's roving exhibition "Foodways" was featured in the Huffington Post and described as "one of the gems of P.3" by Priscilla Frank.[3] "Foodways" was a part of the Prospect.3 triennial's local satellite programming and was open from October 25, 2014 through January 25, 2015.
Pelican Bomb ceased operations in November 2018.[4] At that time, Pelican Bomb was led by founding editor and executive director Cameron Shaw and creative and operations director Amanda Brinkman.
