Announcements

I’ll admit it, as hard as I try I can’t possibly see all the amazing things that happen in New Orleans. I need your help to make InvadeNOLA the #1 source for New Orleans hip culture. Do you update your facebook constantly with articles people should read? Do you scour the internet for fun shit to do? Are you obsessed with seeing live music? Do you want to write more?

Yes, it’s that simple.

The first edition of Sub ‘Zine was a love letter to the Crescent City: how it lulls us with romance, makes us blush, challenges us to flourish and even breaks our hearts. This inaugural collection of poetry, flash fiction, photography and art was an ode to living life down the alleyways and on the front stoops of our regal mistress.

New Orleans is a city full of secret scribes, underground painters and blossoming artists who deserve a wider audience for their work. Sub looks to be an outlet for the unsung heroes of the arts here in New Orleans to find their voice, celebrate their brilliance and begin to build a stronger creative community.

What gets you hot?

The second installment of Sub ‘Zine—set for release this August—will feature work from artists of all varieties about heat in their New Orleans lives. Whether you’ve penned a story of a passionate Chartres Street love affair, concocted a five-alarm recipe for jambalaya, or snapped photos of kids cooling off in fire hydrant floods, we want you to share your visions of what sets this city on fire.

New Orleans has problems, but we’ve all got ideas on how to solve them. Now it’s time to take the next step.

GOOD Magazine and Neighborland are bringing together our city’s most creative and passionate residents to take action in public space and showcase proposals for long-term solutions to challenges our city faces.

The result is called “GOOD Ideas for New Orleans”, a two-month series of events exploring the future of our neighborhoods. We’re calling on all designers, writers, activists, architects, planners and dedicated denizens of New Orleans to participate.

On Saturday May 12th, we’ll host a kick-off event to allow our community leaders to describe each challenge in detail and give collaborators like yourself a chance to connect. It will be a fun way to meet some of the brightest people in town. At the event, you’ll pick a challenge to work on, and choose whether to focus on taking action in public space or developing a long-term solution to be showcased.

Register by Thursday, May 10th and you’ll get information about when and where the event wil take place. If you can’t make it to the May 12th event, you can still participate, just sign up and we’ll keep you posted on how to stay involved!
