SUMMARY:Music in the Garden: NOMA Creative Assembly
DESCRIPTION:NOMA presents Music in the Garden\, a seasonal outdoor music series hosted in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. \nEncounter the sounds of local New Orleans musicians while strolling through the Besthoff Sculpture Garden on select Sunday afternoons throughout the year. Performances will take place alongside sculptures across the garden. \nThis installment of Music in the Garden will feature acoustic sets from current members and alumni of NOMA’s Creative Assembly artist residency program\, including Kr3wcial. \nAttendance for this event is free. Registration is recommended. \nRegister Here \nPerformance Schedule\n\n\n\nPerformer\nTime and Location\n\n\nTo be announced\n2:00 – 3:00 pm\n\n\nKr3wcial\n3:00 – 4:00 pm\n\n\n\nAdditional musicians and performance locations will be announced soon. Please check this page for updates. \n\nAbout the Performers\nKr3wcial\n \nIn the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans’ rich musical heritage\, Kr3wcial emerges as a dynamic figure\, transcending the boundaries of traditional hip-hop. Born and raised in the heart of the Crescent City\, Kr3wcial’s music is a sonic journey through the soul of New Orleans itself. With lyrics that delve deep into the city’s intricate layers—from the gritty streets to the transcendent spirit of its people—he weaves a narrative that is both raw and poetic\, reminiscent of the city’s jazz and blues roots. Kr3wcial’s tracks\, often enlivened with the pulse of brass and the rhythm of New Orleans\, serve as a compelling commentary on the city’s multifaceted nature. Through his verses\, he explores themes of resilience\, identity\, and social consciousness. Beyond the studio\, Kr3wcial is a community advocate\, using his platform to inspire positive change. Collaborating with local nonprofits\, he harnesses the unifying power of music to uplift the very city that fuels his creativity. Kr3wcial is also an alumnus of NOMA’s Creative Assembly residency program. \nAbout NOMA’s Creative Assembly\nLaunched in 2021\, NOMA’s Creative Assembly residency program promotes community engagement by welcoming artists to collaborate throughout the year with the museum’s permanent collection\, special exhibitions\, and programs. Over the course of the residency\, Creative Assembly Cohort members are provided funds and museum support to develop artistic projects and public offerings\, like programs and workshops. Learn more about Creative Assembly here.

SUMMARY:National Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration 2025
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate National Hispanic American Heritage Month at NOMA\, featuring gallery talks from Lapis Curator of the Art of the Americas Orlando Hernández Ying and a live performance and lecture from Marc Armitano Domingo. \nThis program is included with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative. Advanced registration is recommended. \nRegister Now \n\nProgram Details\n6:00 pm | Gallery Talk with Curator Orlando Hernández Ying\nJoin Orlando Hernández Ying\, NOMA’s Lapis Curator of the Art of the Americas\, for a Gallery Talk on Our Lady of Loreto in the newly reinstalled second floor mezzanine gallery. Learn more about the upcoming Great Hall installation of grand scale Peruvian Vice-Regal paintings\, opening September 30th. \nLearn More \n7:00 pm | Live Salterio (Psaltery) Performance and Lecture with Marc Armitano Domingo\nMusician and researcher Marc Armitano Domingo will perform on the salterio (psaltery)\, a historical dulcimer instrument. The performance will be interspersed and connected with his lecture titled “The Hispanic Psaltery in the Americas.” \nBeverages and Light Bites from Café NOMA\nEnjoy specialty cocktails\, mocktails and a light bites menu from Café NOMA leading up to Armitano Domingo’s lecture. \n\nAdditional Information\nAbout Marc Armitano Domingo\n \nMarc Armitano Domingo (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City\, working across oil painting\, porcelain\, and historical music performance. His visual work delves into sacred and natural themes\, rendered through shadowy\, atmospheric\, and whimsical compositions on copper\, linen\, and porcelain. \nAs a leading performer and researcher of the salterio—a historical dulcimer popular in 17th- and 18th-century Spain\, Italy\, and colonial Latin America—Armitano Domingo focuses on reconstructing both the repertoire and authentic playing techniques. He performs on a replica 18th-century salterio\, using special finger rings to pluck the strings rather than hammers. \nAcross media\, his work engages with history and memory whether through nostalgic\, tenebrous landscapes\, delicate porcelain forms\, or the vibrant\, resonant sound of the salterio. His practice confronts the cultural amnesia that allows once-important traditions to fade\, reclaiming forgotten forms and questioning why they were so readily lost to history.

These days you can catch them at dive bars\, dancehalls\, and festivals\, sharing that same good juju and joy.

When an injury prevented her from dancing to the music she grew up with\, Marie-Isabelle started performing on stage. In addition to performing traditionals from South Louisiana\, she also writes her own original songs and poetry. Marie-Isabelle’s writings in Louisiana French have been published by The University of Louisiana at Lafayette as well as Ancrages in Canada\, and she is a member of the Recording Academy.

SUMMARY:Motion to Move 2024
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Juneteenth\, dancer and choreographer Edward Spots presents Motion to Move 2024 in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts. \nThe performance is the latest in a series of works by Spots exploring themes of freedom\, movement\, justice\, and the spark of change. \nAdvanced registration has closed\, additional seating will be available on a first-come first-serve basis. \n\n\n \nFrom the Artist\n“On June 19\, 1865\, nearly two years after the legal emancipation of enslaved Africans in the United States of America\, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay\, Texas\, with news of freedom for over 250\,000 African Americans still enslaved. One year later\, in 1866\, the proud descendants reclaimed June 19 as Juneteenth in recognition of nationwide liberation. After decades of lobbying\, the date was granted Federal Holiday status in 2021. \nAs a proud native of the City of New Orleans\, I am honored to continue the legacy of Minister John Mosley and my first dance teacher\, Mama Baderiwna Rolland. They believed in embedding the history and meaning of Juneteenth into our city’s consciousness. This year’s Juneteenth celebration is a testament to their vision and our progress. It will be a vibrant showcase of Black excellence in the arts\, featuring Black artistic expression in music\, film\, dance\, poetry\, acting\, and visual design. It’s a celebration that entertains and educates\, informing the audience about the profound significance of Juneteenth.” \n\nAbout Edward Spots\nEdward Emanuel Spots was born and raised in the city of New Orleans. Spots has led choreography showcased at the New Orleans Museum Of Art\, the New Orleans Jazz Market\, Tulane University\, Audubon Park\, and digital platforms. Spots is currently on the board of the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival. He has been featured in films\, commercials\, music videos\, press\, and television shows such as So You Think You Can Dance\, Dance Moms\, Bulgaria’s Dancing With The Stars\, Claws\, and a leading role in the movie America directed by Garrett Bradley. Spots was featured in Gambit’s 40 under 40 and has received a Proclamation from the City of New Orleans for his work. Spots teaches at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts\, Loyola University\, the New Orleans School of Ballet\, Ashé Cultural Arts Center\, and Dancing Grounds.
