"Love in the Garden" on September 28, 2007

Each year, the New Orleans Museum of Art hosts the "Love in the Garden" fundraiser right next door in the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. The event is used to raise money for further restoration of the Garden which was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Also, it will bring attention to the museum & help rebuild membership.

Of course, "Love" refers to the famous piece created by artist/sculptor Robert Indiana. When you attend the party, you will experience dancing under the stars and those gorgeous live oak trees ~ as well as FOOD provided by 30 NOLA restaurants including Cafe Degas, Court of Two Sisters & Ralph's on the Park. You will see artwork by Fernando Botero, Claes Oldenburg, Henry Moore, Deborah Butterfield, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Barbara Hepworth, Lynn Chadwick, Isamu Noguchi and many more.

Contemporary Art Center of New Orleans

New Orleans is well known for the delicious Cajun/Creole food, live music, FUN, Southern charm and Bourbon Street. The art world is amazing in NOLA! I would like to encourage people to dive into the cultural, artistic part of the city when you are there. You will have numerous galleries, museums, etc to visit.

I've already mentioned the New Orleans Museum of Art in previous posts. This time, I want to tell you about the Contemporary Arts Center. We have enjoyed their varied and wonderful exhibits many times. CACNO offers a venue for local, new & established artists. Visual art works, music, dance.... if it is artistic, you can find it there!
