Blindspot Collective is seeking Black visual artists to contribute works to dress Black Seance’s set. We are looking for art pieces that highlight Black icons, New Orleans, and have a creole imagery aesthetic. We are accepting all kinds of visual art!
It is also an option for the artists to sell their art if an audience member shows interest. If any artist is interested in doing so we will make sure to advertise the pieces.
You can sign up in our website

Here is a little about the show:
Black Séance mingles magic and mixed drinks for an intoxicating, immersive experience that celebrates Black icons. Ushered into a dark, back-alley bar like those you might find in New Orleans, patrons are invited to participate in a transformative ritual that finds Francis, their bartender and amateur magician, channeling some of his heroes. Frederick Douglass, Josephine Baker, and James Baldwin are invoked as Francis investigates his mysterious family history. While encountering the humor and humanity of figures like Eartha Kitt or Redd Foxx through their own words, one never knows who will make an appearance and who will ghost in this visceral examination of generational trauma and triumph.
This show contains mature language and alcohol will be served during the performance. All patrons must show valid ID and be 18+ to attend.
Black Séance premiered with La Jolla Playhouse as part of the 2022 Without Walls Festival. Join us again in 2024 at the Museum of Contemporary Art for a very special remount!
