Trinity City Arts

Founded in 2014 as the Yvonne Bechet Theater Project.

We are a learning community of Louisiana artists, educators and activists who engage the public in imagining healthy and equitable systems of public safety through stories. TRINITY CITY ARTS (TCArts) is a collective of multi-faceted artivists committed to shaping the next generation of changemakers in New Orleans. By forging impactful community partnerships, we empower youth aged 13 to 21 to devel

op their creative voices, leadership abilities, and cultural legacies. At the upcoming 2025 ARTIVIST AWARDS on October 20th at Beanlandia, we celebrate superheroes who create and use art as a tool for social change. The awards are more than just an event — they’re a community celebration of creativity, leadership, and culture, as well as a fundraiser for Trinity City Arts. Our annual ARTIVIST AWARDS honor young, adult, and elder artivists whose courage promotes justice and well-being in our beloved city. Funds raised at the event support Trinity City Arts, publishers of TRINITY CITY COMICS, an original Afro-Futurist comic book set in “New New Orleans” circa 2078. Your generous donations help fund our graphic novel project Trinity City Comics (issues 2-4), the local teen and adult artists who create the comic, and the workshops in New Orleans schools and community centers that develop youth as future artivists.
