Smith & Wisznia Collection

The Smith & Wisznia collection's singular focus: artists living, working and exhibiting in Louisiana post Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana during this period of renewal, rebirth, and rebuilding experienced an art renaissance. The Smith & Wisznia Collection features artists of color, women, LGBTQ and artists of diverse religious backgrounds. The Art World's current trend has shifted to visual artists who have been marginalized and or discriminated against who are now being exhibited in galleries and museums Worldwide to a welcoming and exuberant audience. The Smith & Wisznia Collection is a window into a collector's and curator's vision, focus and commitment and their collective's contributions to the landscape of Contemporary Art and Society.
