<h3>Synopsis:</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-105" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Film-sm" src="http://www.degashouse.com/dhwp/wp-content/uploads/Film-sm.jpg" alt="Film-sm" width="125" height="208" /><strong>The scandals and tragedies that devastated the lost Civil War South impacted the life of Edgar Degas in ways left unexplored until now. Take an intimate look into the lives of Degas and his maternal Creole family, the Mussons, during Edgar&#8217;s five-month sojourn into the Reconstruction New Orleans of 1872. Pull back the curtains that carefully guard the Musson women and discover the loves and losses of a family in crisis.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The film chronicles the life and legacy of the painter in New Orleans (<em>The New Orleans Collection</em>). The Collection was painted in the Degas House where his bedroom was also his studio. Due to his failing eyesight and the brightness of the Louisiana sun, the entire New Orleans Collection was painted in the Degas House.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is the definitive turning point of Degas&#8217; life, markedly changing his art and his intimate relations. From this time of turmoil and intrigue springs the Impressionist Movement. Degas, an unquestioned Founder, pioneers an artistic freedom that changes Art and the World forever.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Founded in 1995, the non-profit Edgar Degas Foundation is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the French Impressionist Master, Edgar Degas, and serving as a cultural resource center for the public. The Foundation adopted two goals from its onset to achieve this mission.</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-136" style="margin-left:30px;" title="Landmarker" src="http://test.goodworkmarketing.com/degas/wp-content/uploads/Landmarker.jpg" alt="Landmarker" width="300" height="317" />The <strong>first goal</strong> was the <em>restoration of the Musson-Degas Home located at 2306 Esplanade Avenue</em>.    The Artist lived in this home from October 1872 to March 1873 while visiting his maternal relatives, the Musson Family.  Purchased in 1993, Phase I of the restoration was completed on March 1, 1997, with private funds. The restoration has received numerous awards including: Excellence in Restoration from the Louisiana Preservation Alliance, An Affiliate of the National Trust for Historic Preservation; Purple Rating by the New Orleans Historic Landmarks Commission; one of only six in New Orleans Golden Hammer Award for Historic Preservation, awarded by the City of New Orleans. The Degas House is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Phase II of the restoration began in December of 1998. The work is ongoing and will include the replacement of the original wrought iron fence as shown in the architectural drawings from 1863, as well as work on the grounds and adjacent structures of the original Estate.</p>
<p>The <strong>second goal</strong> adopted by the Foundation is <em>the establishment of a cultural resource center to provide service to the community and educate the public about Degas in New Orleans</em>. The Foundation provides books, videos, and research material to students, scholars, writers, historians and members of the public interested in learning more about the French Impressionist Master.</p>
<p><strong>The Degas House is available to the public for tours, meetings, special events and overnight stays. The Foundation welcomes artists, scholars and historians to the Degas House. We offer assistance in research and facilities for exhibitions of work.</strong></p>
<p>The Foundation is pleased that their documentary, <em>Degas in New Orleans: A Creole Sojourn</em>, received the <strong>Gold Award</strong> at the <strong>Flagstaff International Film Festival</strong>. Filmed on location at the Degas House, the documentary was produced by the Edgar Degas Foundation and the Degas House.</p>
<p>The Foundation continues to work with local schools and organizations fostering the artistic talents of our students and encouraging a greater understanding of the works of Edgar Degas by hosting programs for interns, school tour groups and other activities.</p>
<p>The Degas Foundation is deeply grateful for the support of all who share our belief that the preservation of art is our cultural imperative.</p>
<p>We invite your inquiries regarding membership in the Edgar Degas Foundation. Membership levels include categories for students, individuals, families, business, patrons and corporations. Every member receives a copy of the video, Degas in New Orleans: A Creole Sojourn, a tour of the House, and a copy of the quarterly newsletter. Depending on the level of membership, the Foundation also offers discounts on accommodations and event space.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Edgar Degas Foundation&#8217;s educational mission is to restore the Home &amp; preserve the legacy of Edgar Degas for New Orleans and the World.</strong></p>
