Join us for The 50th Odyssey presented by IBERIABANK! Chaired by Susu and Andrew Stall, The 50th Odyssey will raise funds for the museum to present world-class exhibitions and arts education programming.

Thursday, November 10, Odyssey Sponsor Party (for TOUCH Sponsors and above). In recognition of their leadership gift, sponsors are invited to an elegant and intimate cocktail reception at the Audubon Place home of Drs. Rupa and Tarun Jolly. Music by singer and recording artist, Phillip Manuel.

Saturday, November 12, NOMA celebrates The 50th Odyssey! Patrons will enjoy delicious cuisine, craft cocktails, live music, and more in celebration of this momentous occasion.

This unforgettable evening will be inspired by NOMA’s fall exhibition, Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection on view in Ella West Freeman Galleries, including 40 masterpieces spanning five centuries of European and American landscape painting.

Odyssey guests will also enjoy George Dunbar: Elements of Chance, which surveys the career of George Dunbar (American, b. 1927), a New Orleans native who played a pivotal role in introducing abstract art to the South.
