Bywater Wonderland is the undying mission of artist and cultural conjurer Stacy Hoover — a fluid refuge in New Orleans' depths where artists, outcasts, and dreamers transform alongside their ever-shifting refuge.
More than just an artist residency, Bywater Wonderland is a living, breathing artwork. A constellation of carefully curated spaces, houses, halls, gardens, and hidden nooks, each one lovingly designed by Stacy to spark creation, connection, and deep artistic play.
This is a place where composers fill clawfoot bathtubs with sound, aerialists swing from rafters, and poets whisper to the trees. Wonderland is an ecosystem of imagination, and Stacy is its tireless steward, tailoring each corner with a wild devotion to the creative spirit.
Your tax-deductible donation supports Stacy’s ongoing work designing and evolving these magical spaces, and helps bring them to life by welcoming a steady pulse of brilliant, boundary-pushing creatives to inhabit them, to dream, devise, and transform.
Support the spell. Fuel the vision. Let Wonderland unfold.
