Our Story
Founded in 2015 by filmmaker Benh Zeitlin, Court 13 Arts emerged from the success of the acclaimed film "Beasts of the Southern Wild." This organization was born out of a desire to give back to the local artists who contributed to the film's creation. By fostering a vibrant community of artists in Louisiana, Court 13 Arts provides essential resources such as affordable studio spaces, mentorship programs, and cultural events. The mission is to cultivate a thriving environment where creativity can flourish.
