For the past nine years, the New Orleans Museum of Art has staged a light-hearted party centered on local artists. A lot of the attention this time around goes to artists whose careers began in the New Orleans Center For the Creative Arts. With its roots at NOMA, after forty years NOCCA is now a major secondary school for young artists of all kinds. The food will come from nearly sixty local restaurants. I went over the list looking for those to avoid and came up with almost nothing. If you don't believe me, check the list yourself here. On top of all those cooks, the mixologists from fifteen major local bars will make craft cocktails. The garden where all this love will be put forth this Friday (September 26) is the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at City Park. There will be three parties, really: the patrons show up at seven for their $150-ticket food and beverages. At eight, the main party attendees will show up with their $100 ducats. At nine, NOMA will continue its recent success with a late-night party tailored for younger participants at $50 a ticket. (All must be over 21.) Members of NOMA get a $25 discount off patron and main party admissions. Tickets and other information can be had here.
