Pelican Bomb

Launched in February 2011, Pelican Bomb[1] is a non-profit contemporary visual arts organization based in New Orleans. It is 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. Pelican Bomb's online publication consists of critical essays, art reviews, and image-based digital content.[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.

For the World War II guided weapon, see Pelican (bomb).

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.
