by Sally Tunmer November 23, 2011 Arts & Culture

Many places wind down around the holidays and a lot of people opt out of doing anything other than waddling around the house due to over-gorging. New Orleans doesn’t let its people get off that easy. This weekend, there are numerous activities, the liveliest taking place on Turkey Day. So take a post-feast disco nap and greet the streets, because …

Bard in the Garden: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

by Liz Genest Smith October 3, 2011 Arts & Culture

William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is sort of like a California roll. (Stay with me here). Like cooked krab-with-a-k and avocado, it’s probably the most easily digestible of Shakespeare’s plays, able to gently usher skeptical newbies into the often intimidating world of the Bard without upsetting their delicate constitutions. It’s more palatable and of a more pleasant texture than …

New York street artist, Swoon, takes over the New Orleans Museum of Art with a grand-scale installation suspended from the century-old Great Hall. The giant – almost ominous – sculpture  depicting the mighty sea goddess, Thalassa, reigns over the art museum, symbolizing our relationship to the sea, as the artist’s vision intended.

NOLA History: The “Not-So-French” French Quarter

by Edward May 25, 2011 Arts & Culture

We call the oldest part of New Orleans, the “French Quarter,” but in many ways, it’s not as French as one would think. The proximity of New Orleans to all of the Spanish colonies in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, along with a few historic events along the way, injected a sizeable amount of Spanish influence into the …

Spectacular Collision of Culture in New Orleans

We could all use a little culture shock every now and again. We get so set in our ways that we barely make time to venture and see what else is out there in the world.  If only there were a place that would allow you to infinitely expand your cultural boundaries while mixing and mingling with like-minded people.
