Art of the City, Postmodern to Post-Katrina highlights contemporary art in New Orleans.
Presented by the Helis Foundation this is the first exhibit to be displayed in the The Historic New Orleans Collection's Seignouret-Brulatour building.(THNOC).
Join me and curator/artist Jan Gilbert for a tour of the exhibit, and a discussion of contemporary art in New Orleans. Jan's enthusiasm for the art and the artists really comes through.
By the end of this episode you'll be planning your next visit to THNOC and mapping out your route to find the art scattered across New Orleans.
When you're ready to visit New Orleans and check out the exhibit you'll need a place to stay. The Old 77 is ideally situated in the Warehouse District, just three blocks from the French Quarter. It features a variety of pet-friendly rooms, the award-winning Compere Lapin restaurant, and more.
You'll love the location, the rooms, and the food, but the details and the service are what you'll fall in love with!

Did you know New Orleans hosted a World's Fair in 1984? Or, that it was actually the 2nd fair held in New Orleans?
Join me and NOLA.com journalist Mike Scott for a look back at 1984. We'll explore the World's Fair and find out what's at that location in New Orleans now. We'll revisit the Wonder Wall, Centennial Plaza, the gondola and more.
If you went to the fair, you'll enjoy the memories. And if you weren't around back then, you'll enjoy looking for the clues the fair was here during your next visit to New Orleans.
