There are plans all the same, so far mostly unfunded, to help get artists and musicians back to work in a city where the arts were both a spiritual lifeblood and a significant source of revenue. Jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, a New Orleans native who co-chairs the BNOB cultural committee, has put forward a proposal recommending, among other things, a public-works program that would subsidize musical performance and public art.
