This July, New Orleans & Co. is launching a brand-new annual festival inspired by the famed South Australia Living Artist Festival: The New Orleans Living Artist Festival. On Wednesday, July 15th, the festival is officially highlighting our neighborhood—and we are throwing an epic celebration to mark the occasion!

We invite you to join us in our Grand Hall for the opening reception of our month-long installation:

What to expect: Meet neighborhood artists, sip on great wine, enjoy light snacks, and experience an unforgettable night of community creativity. To make the evening truly seamless and immersive, we’ve partnered with our friends at JAMNOLA—another phenomenal local art space featured that night—and Breeze Shuttles, who will be providing complimentary shuttle service between both spaces all evening long!

The Grand Hall will be absolutely transformed. Come check out the incredible lineup featuring:

The New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival: We are thrilled to host spectacular, whimsical pieces on loan from these local masters of scale and storytelling. Be sure to check out their magical work and follow their journey online at neworleansgiantpuppetfest.com.

Marcus Rosser (Exclusive 3D Printed Sculptures): Neighborhood artist Marcus Rosser is bringing the digital into the physical world. He will be officially unveiling 3D-printed sculptures specifically on the night of the reception, some of which will only be on display for one night. You can preview his incredible style ahead of time at the Rosser NFT Gallery.
