Brittany Markert / In Rooms Foundation Studio

New Orleans, LA – Brittany Markert, founder of In Rooms, officially announces the launch of In Rooms Foundation, an artist-led foundation initiative dedicated to supporting artists and creative practitioners. Through its programming and support structures, the foundation seeks to make artistic development more accessible while fostering creative integrity, lifelong practice, and deeper engagement with the unseen dimensions of creative life.

Emerging from Brittany Markert’s long-term interdisciplinary project In Rooms, the foundation builds ecosystems that preserve artists and create the conditions necessary for meaningful creative work to survive, deepen, and be shared. Rooted in photography, darkroom practice, writing, psychology, symbolism, and the transformative power of intimate spaces, In Rooms Foundation offers workshops, salons, artist gatherings, office hours, archival initiatives, publications, scholarship opportunities, and creative development programs that encourage slowness, vulnerability, craft, curiosity, and sustained artistic inquiry.

At the heart of the foundation is In Rooms, a twelve-year body of work exploring psychology, dreams, memory, femininity, symbolism, and the hidden architectures of human experience. The foundation supports its continued research, archival preservation, publications, and educational initiatives so that the work may continue to evolve while also creating opportunities for others to deepen their own creative lives.

About Brittany Markert

Brittany Markert (b. 1987, USA) is a New Orleans based photographer, darkroom printer, bookmaker, filmmaker, and educator. Her long-term project, In Rooms, explores the unconscious, feminine transformation, ritual, sexuality, grief, and psychological integration through staged interior worlds.

Her work has been exhibited in the United States, France, Denmark, and Belgium, including  Brandts Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art,  The Untitled Space in New York and La Luz de Jesus in Los Angeles. Markert’s silver gelatin prints are held in private collections in more than twenty countries. In 2017, she expanded In Rooms into 16mm filmmaking, furthering the project’s dialogue with mental health, inner life, surrealism, and the writings of Carl Jung.
