About the company
New Orleans Museum of Art, doing business as Noma, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana, that acts as a federal grant recipient to support exhibition development, curatorial research, collections infrastructure, and digital access programming. Noma competes exclusively in the grant space rather than federal contracting; all 26 awards in its recent portfolio are prime grants, with no subcontract work.
Noma's federal funding comes from five cultural agencies. The National Endowment for the Arts has funded 13 awards across exhibition support and pandemic-response programming; the National Endowment for the Humanities has funded 6 awards focused on traveling exhibitions and collections preservation; the Institute of Museum and Library Services has funded 3 awards supporting collections database migration and digital asset access; the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science has placed 3 awards; and the Smithsonian Institution awarded a single $263 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract on March 27, 2026, for the New African Masquerades Exhibition, with performance in Washington, DC and ultimate completion April 6, 2026.
Recent representative grant work includes a $500 thousand NEH Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs award (CFDA 45.164) announced October 1, 2023, and running through September 30, 2027, to support the major traveling exhibition and publication project "New Masks Now: Artists Innovating Masquerade in Contemporary West Africa"; a $600 thousand NEH award for the jointly organized traveling exhibition "Black Orpheus: Jacob Lawrence and the Mbari Club"; an $144,058 NEH Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access award (CFDA 45.149) from October 2021 through October 2023 supporting 20 online exhibitions and hiring an Interdepartmental Project Manager and Digital Archivist; a $100 thousand IMLS National Leadership Grants award from November 2021 through October 2022 to hire a Digital Assets Manager and expand public access to the permanent collection; and ongoing awards from 2026 including a $50 thousand NEH Photography Storage Feasibility Study and a project grant from IMLS supporting collections database migration and the hire of a Collections Database Manager and two paid interns running through August 31, 2027.
Award activity has declined significantly in recent years — three awards in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with a total combined potential value of $263 thousand but combined dollars obligated of $6.5 million, reflecting substantial historical obligations now settled. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Noma's federal footprint centers on African and African-American art and heritage exhibitions, collections preservation and migration infrastructure, and digital public access initiatives, with demonstrated institutional capability in curatorial research, exhibition development, and collaborative touring practices across the cultural sector.
