With their modest means\, the couple managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history\, including works by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein\, photographers Cindy Sherman and Lorna Simpson\, minimalist Robert Mangold\, and post-minimalist Richard Tuttle. Meet Herb and Dorothy Vogel\, whose shared passion and discipline have defied stereotypes and redefined what it means to be an art collector.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Mia Borders\n6 pm: Artist Perspective with Ceramicist Kevin John O’Keefe\n7 pm: “The Indivisible and the Invincible\,” a talk by Prospect.4 artist Odili Donald Odita\n\nABOUT MIA BORDERS\nBorn and raised in New Orleans\, Mia Borders’ original music genuinely reflects the oft-referenced melting pot of her hometown.  Her catalogue of nine commercial releases spans from pop-rock-influenced “the ep” in 2007 to the R&B LP “Fever Dreams” in 2016. Heralded locally and nationally as one of New Orleans’ best talents\, Borders has been featured on AXS.tv’s coverage of The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, and has performed at such renowned venues as Essence Festival\, Brazil’s Bourbon Street Music Festival\, House of Blues New Orleans\, Tipitina’s\, Santa Cruz Blues Fest\, Chattanooga’s Night Fall\, Voice of the Wetlands\, Memphis’ Levitt Shell\, Wakarusa\, Long’s Park Amphitheater\, 2012 Food & Wine Classic\, and The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. \nABOUT KEVIN JOHN O’KEEFE\nKevin John O’Keefe is an artist based in Gulfport\, Mississippi. He has worked with master potter Jimmy Anderson and his son Peter Jr. in the preservation of the life and work of their forefather\, Peter Anderson of Ocean Springs\, Mississippi. O’Keefe has worked for the George Ohr Museum’s “Mud Daubers” arts camp and has also taught wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics in many other studios. His work has been shown at the Museum of Art in Hattiesburg and the Andrew Jessup Gallery in Biloxi. In September of 2005 he was in the last stages of preparation for a large private installation at The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park Campus Library when Hurricane Katrina destroyed the campus and damaged this body of work. This show and samplings of his work can be seen at KevinJohnOKeefe.com. After regrouping with the help of The Mississippi Arts Commission\, O’Keefe began refining undeveloped and unconventional techniques using salt. These works were promoted in various galleries on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in New Orleans. Beyond ceramics\, O’Keefe’s fresh\, creative talent has led to a wide variety of projects\, including artistic designs for a Mississippi manufacturer of drum sticks\, graphic design of covers for several books and bibles\, and logos and marketing packages for several businesses. \nABOUT ODILI DONALD ODITA\nOdili Donald Odita is an African American abstract painter who lives and works in Philadelphia. Odita’s work explores color both in the figurative historical context and in the sociopolitical sense. His vibrant large-scale abstractions have been described as “showstoppers” and are considered to raise questions about race and society. Most of Odita’s work is inspired by the vibrant textiles of his home country\, Nigeria mixed with patterns from Western modernity. His Forever mural\, commissioned in 2011\, fills an entire wall in NOMA’s elevator lobby on the first floor. For Prospect.4\, he has created brightly multicolored flags installed at places of “cultural\, racial and historical importance” around the city\, and more of his work is on view aboard the Algiers ferry. \nOdita is primarily a painter\, but also works in photo-based pieces and installation art. He has experimented with a variety of media\, but his works since the 1990s are often large-scale paintings on canvas and Plexiglass. He sometimes paints directly on walls to alter the perception of space. Often involving “complex interlocking geometries and contrasting hues\,” his works are seen as raising significant questions about race and society. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council as administered by the Arts Council of New Orleans.

John Bullard Collection\n7 – 8:30 pm: Drawings in Clay: Sgraffito Technique Workshop with Rachael DePauw\n\nABOUT SHAWN WILLIAMS\nNew Orleans’ pioneering voice in “alt-rock countrybilly serial-killer blues\,” Shawn Williams describes her sound as that “of a dirtier-minded Elvis deciding to get it on in the back of some roadhouse saloon with one of those sad-eyed cowboy types that would rather be drinking alone.” \nAn accomplished career in radio has taken her from Atlanta to New York City and back to her hometown of New Orleans\, where she marked success as the former programming director for two of the city’s largest radio stations (NASH FM 92.3 and 106.1 The Underground)\, all the while managing to maintain the schedule required of a young bandleader in a vibrant night town. \nHer debut album Shadow (2017) is a skillfully-mastered collection of originals that moves seamlessly from old-school R&B-inflected rockers to softer\, wistful numbers. On recording as in live performance\, she conveys a sense of rawness\, a depth of feeling\, and a lack of pretension that set her apart from the rest of the city’s pool of talented up-and-coming musicians. Aside from her own music\, she is also the founder of the all-female Elvis tribute band\, Pelvis Breastlies. \nABOUT CURATOR MEL BUCHANAN AND PERSONALITIES IN CLAY\nMel Buchanan is the RosaMary Curator for Decorative Arts and Design.

The meantime has been hard-fought but fruitful\, with appearances at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, Voodoo Music Experience\, SXSW\, and several tours of the US and Europe. Alexis and bandmate Sam Craft met in 2009 and initially teamed up for Alexis’ sophomore effort Orange Moon (2011). Under the tutelage and engineering of The Polyphonic Spree’s Rick Nelson\, the duo drew an all-star cast\, 25 of NOLA’s finest musicians of every genre for this big\, lush\, indie-pop opus with a distinct Louisiana flavor. \nABOUT THERE WILL BE BLOOD\nNOMA’s three-film Landscape on Screen Series concludes with There Will Be Blood\, a 2007 movie inspired by Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel Oil!. The film tells the story of Daniel Plainview\, a silver miner-turned-oilman on a ruthless quest for wealth during Southern California’s oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Daniel Day-Lewis\, Kevin J. O’Connor\, Ciarán Hinds\, Kevin J. O’Connor\, and Dillon Freasier star in the film\, much of which was shot in Marfa\, Texas\, and in the historic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills\, California. The the jury for American Film Institute named the film among its top ten for 2007 and wrote: ” There Will Be Blood is bravura film-making by one of American film’s modern masters. Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic poem of savagery\, optimism and obsession is a true meditation on America. The film drills down into the dark heart of capitalism\, where domination\, not gain\, is the ultimate goal. In a career defined by transcendent performances\, Daniel Day-Lewis creates a character so rich and so towering\, that ‘Daniel Plainview’ will haunt the history of film for generations to come.” (2 hours\, 38 minutes | Rated R | Watch the trailer) \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

While learning Hill Country Blues firsthand in North Mississippi\, he founded his blues-rock trio TURCHI\, which released its debut album Road Ends in Water in 2012. Five years and six albums later\, after touring extensively and experimenting with a variety of styles\, Turchi has returned to the music that led him to take up guitar. His newest album\, Tallahatchie\, is stripped of studio tricks\, with songs presented simply: a slide\, a voice\, an acoustic guitar\, and a wooden chair on a wooden floor. \nABOUT JOE EARLE\nUsing examples from the Kurt Gitter and Alice Yelen collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics on view in New Forms\, New Voices\, as well as others by emerging artists\, all of them made during the present century\, Joe Earle will show how the art form has reached an interesting point of development. As the time-worn narratives of “innovation within tradition” and “Japaneseness versus Westernness” recede into insignificance\, it becomes easier for scholars to look at these works from a more global perspective. \nJoe Earle was Director of Japan Society Gallery in New York from 2007 to 2012 and has held leadership positions in Asian art departments at the Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. Now based in London\, he works as Senior Consultant for Bonhams auction house in the U.K. and U.S. He has also revived his former career as a prolific author of Japanese art catalogues\, with no fewer than six titles due to be published this year alone. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

His mom\, Joyce (Mary Kay Place) runs a thrift shop where she offers fashion advice to the homeless\, while sis Tina (Martha Plimpton) recruits go-go boys to dance at the local Fudge Palace. Pecker’s younger sister\, Little Chrissy (Lauren Hulsey)\, has a sugar addiction\, and his grandmother\, Memama (Jean Schertler)\, the ‘pit beef’ queen of Baltimore\, conducts prayer meetings with her talking statue of the Virgin Mary. After hip Manhattan art dealer Rorey Wheeler (Lili Taylor) becomes fascinated with Pecker’s photos\, a big exhibition is in the offing\, followed by overnight fame as the young man becomes the new darling of the New York art scene. Soon Pecker discovers that fame has its price.” (Rated R | 1 hour\, 26 minutes) Watch the original trailer.
