Join BEANLANDIA with a monthly contribution!

Beanlandia

Krewe of Red Beans Headquarter

is not just a bean museum. It is a member-supported cultural center, an educational space, and a place where we come together and create joy. 

BEANLANDIA is the Center of a VIBRANT COMMUNITY

Imagine what a vibrant community looks like, what are the elements / features?

We have seven major pillars to guide us. 

1. There is Culture

A community with culture is a vibrant place and engaging in culture brings joy. Beanlandia is home to the Krewe of Red Beans and hosts other cultural groups creating moments where members can connect with and appreciate culture. Music, workshops, lectures and other programming!

2. There is Learning

We value learning new perspectives and building new skills and ideas. Beanlandia is committed to creating learning opportunities for both children and adults. Beanlandia creates and hosts workshops where community can teach and learn.

3. People are Connected

People need to feel part of a group. Our programming brings people together to socialize and make friends. We strive to increase “social cohesion” by creating a diverse set of peers who call the space home. Our activities are welcoming and all-ages.

4. A Safety Net Exists

New Orleans will continue to have hurricanes, heat waves, and other challenges. Beanlandia is a resilience hub where the community can work together as we face climate-specific issues.

5. Childrens' Programming

We want to provide kids with activities to foster hope and positivity. Beanlandia is a space where kids and come together in a safe and creative space where they can make friends and build bridges.

6. Sustainability

Beanlandia will develop and promote climate solutions and programs to promote sustainability. We encourage members to get into and appreciate nature. We are developing our Beanlandia garden as a model of sustainability.

7. Team Approach
