Prospect, New Orleans’ international art exhibition, cancels its next big show in 2027

Prospect, New Orleans' international art exhibition, has canceled its next planned show in 2027. The decision was announced by the organization's most recent director, Nick Stillman, who cited the current political climate and cuts to government arts funding as making the financial outlook for the multi-million-dollar event "ominous." Stillman has since left the organization. Instead of mounting another exhibition, Prospect will publish a book titled "20 Years of Prospect" and shift focus to exploring sustainable models for presenting global art discourse while archiving its past work.
