Jared
Creative Consultancy
Our consulting services are based in our work with experimental artists and radical culture bearers that create immersive worlds. We aim to bring all sorts of people together to create spectacular and once-in-a-lifetime moments. We carefully curate each place and event, sparing no detail to produce experiential happenings.
Airlift also works with artists, magazines and organizations arriving in New Orleans to connect them to the cultural community. We introduce you to the surprising and overlooked culture and artistry that thrives here.
Our consulting work aligns with our mission to collaborate to inspire wonder, connect communities and foster opportunities through the creation of experimental public art. Each consulting job we take directly funds other Airlift programs such as our musical architecture or performance projects.
