The Allison Montana Institute of Art, Culture and Tradition (AMIACT) was established by Faces of Culture Inc. to document, educate, preserve, present and celebrate the unique cultural heritage and street performance traditions of people of color, native to the City of New Orleans. In preparation of the creation of A.M.I.A.C.T's physical site, as envisioned by "Faces of Culture," Small Center (then Tulane City Center) conducted research on a proposed site along North Claiborne Avenue, on its larger context - the neigborhood of Tremé, and on the street-based groups that are to become the focus of the new Institute. The report seeks to bring into focus the broad vision of the founders of the Institute.
