The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu and Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts by Joshua Hammer
Simon and Schuster, 2017, ISBN: 9781476777412
In the 1980s, a young adventurer and collector for a government library, Abdel Kader Haidara, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that had fallen into obscurity. In 2012, as thousands of Al Qaeda militants seized control of most of Mali, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350,000 volumes out of Timbuktu to the safety of southern Mali. Journalist Joshua Hammer tells the story of Haidara’s heroic and ultimately successful effort to outwit Al Qaeda and preserve Mali’s—and the world’s—literary patrimony.

Box Top Assemblages
Sculptor Louise Nevelson, known for creating with discarded objects, playfully called herself “the original recycler.” Her monumental sculptures—often all-black or all-white—fit together like puzzle pieces.

Materials:

Cardboard or plastic box base (a shoe box lid, cereal box, or produce container works well)
Solid colored paper, paint, or a thick marker
Household objects to repurpose like paper towel and toilet paper rolls, metal tins, plastic tops, egg cartons, corks, bottle caps, or soda tabs, rubber bands, paper clips, and more!

Rose Bratcher is an ensō painter and a monk at the New Orleans Zen Temple. In Zen, ensō is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. The ensō symbolizes absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and mu (the void). It is characterised by a minimalism born of Japanese aesthetics.

About Young Audiences
For over 50 years, Young Audiences of Louisiana has operated arts in education programs that promote academic excellence and social growth through the arts. Studies have shown that students enrolled in Young Audiences programs outperformed their peers on standardized tests, exhibited fewer disciplinary issues, and had increased school attendance.
About Wolf Trap Institute
Young Audiences / Louisiana Wolf Trap has been an affiliate of The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts since 2010. The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, a program of the Wolf Trap Foundation, was established in 1981 under a grant from the Head Start Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services serving children birth through kindergarten. The goal of the Institute is to provide early childhood educators with professional development training in the use of performing arts techniques within educational curriculum goals and outcomes for young children. The infusion of arts-based techniques into daily routines provides powerful teaching strategies that can be used to enhance all areas of development, including emergent literacy, self-esteem and socialization, problem solving, receptive and expressive language, motor skills and self-regulation, science and math, conceptualization, and creativity, in order to provide a solid foundation for all future learning.

Gallery Talk: Buddha and Shiva, Lotus and Dragon with Fan Zhang, Asian Art Institute at Tulane University – CANCELED
2020-05-06 12:00
Gallery talks are casual conversations between artists, curators, and other special guests with NOMA visitors frequently scheduled throughout the year. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation.
Fan Zhang, professor of practice at the Asian Art Institute at Tulane University, will discuss the exhibition Buddha and Shiva, Lotus and Dragon: Masterworks from the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection at Asia Society.
Fan Zhang specializes in the art and material culture of early medieval China (3rd–6th century CE) and the cultural interactions among East Asia, Central Asia, and Northeastern Asia through and beyond the Silk Road network. Adopting an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approach, her research probes into issues around identity, migration, and hybridity in the ancient world. Her current book project, Cultural Encounters: Ethnic Complexity and Material Expressions in the Fifth-century Pingcheng, draws attention to the funerary art of Pingcheng, the capital city of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and explores how artworks function as effective vehicles for individuals to articulate one’s identities in a multi-ethnic society. Fan Zhang has conducted archaeological fieldwork in both China and Central Asia. She also participated in research and curatorial programs in several museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of Korea, and the Sichuan Museum.

If you were to explore the objects in your space with just your hands, what would they feel like? In this workshop, see your surroundings in a new way by exploring the textures around you! Families will create wax rubbings on paper inspired by Earth Mounds, a sculptural work by New Orleans-based artist Jennifer Odem to tell the story of their home or space through texture.
Earth Mounds is a part of the NOMA exhibition Ear to the Ground: Earth and Element in Contemporary Art. Explore the exhibition virtually through Google Arts & Culture!

Art in Bloom presented by IBERIABANK – Online auction
2020-05-01 06:00 - 2020-05-11 09:00
CLICK HERE TO MAKE A DONATION TO ART IN BLOOM

Dear Friends,
We thank all of our sponsors and ticket holders for their support of Art in Bloom presented by IBERIABANK. Due to the current COVID 19 crisis, NOMA and the Garden Study Club have made the difficult decision to cancel our annual fundraiser. Like every public institution, the safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers, patrons, guests, donors and participants are our highest priorities during these complicated times.
We would especially like to thank our presenting sponsor, IBERIABANK, for their significant and on-going support of the arts and our New Orleans community. Funds raised at Art in Bloom provide critical resources for NOMA’s core educational initiatives and exhibitions as well as the important community projects sponsored by The Garden Study Club of New Orleans. These funds are even more crucial as both organizations strive to meet the growing needs of our community.
We hope that all sponsors and ticket holders will consider their sponsorships and ticket purchases as a 100% tax donation. The new CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act allows all taxpayers to take a charitable deduction of up to $300, even if you do not itemize. Again, we thank you all for your generous support and for your patience during this difficult time.
Although guests will not be present at Art in Bloom this year, everyone can participate virtually as we launch the silent auction on Friday, May 1. The on-line auction will feature works of art from over 70 local and regional artists. We hope that you will bid high and bid often for Art in Bloom! It will make an enormous difference. Again, thank you for your incredible support. We know we will see you in 2021!
Sincerely,

Silent Auction Launch | Friday, May 1 at 6 am through Monday, May 11 at 9 am

Foreign Devils on the Silk Road: The Search for the Lost Treasures of Central Asia by Peter Hopkirk
John Murray Publishers, 2006, ISBN: 0719564484
The Silk Road, which linked imperial Rome and distant China, was once the greatest thoroughfare on earth. Along it traveled precious cargoes of silk, gold, and ivory, as well as revolutionary new ideas. Its oasis towns blossomed into thriving centers of Buddhist art and learning. In time it began to decline. Traffic slowed, merchants left, and towns vanished beneath the desert sands to be forgotten for a thousand years. Legends grew of lost cities filled with treasures and in the early years of the last century foreign explorers began to investigate these stories. Art and manuscripts were carried away and today are scattered through museums of a dozen countries. Peter Hopkirk tells the story of the intrepid men who, at great personal risk, led these long-range archaeological raids.

About Young Audiences
For over 50 years, Young Audiences of Louisiana has operated arts in education programs that promote academic excellence and social growth through the arts. Studies have shown that students enrolled in Young Audiences programs outperformed their peers on standardized tests, exhibited fewer disciplinary issues, and had increased school attendance.
About Wolf Trap Institute
Young Audiences / Louisiana Wolf Trap has been an affiliate of The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts since 2010. The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, a program of the Wolf Trap Foundation, was established in 1981 under a grant from the Head Start Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services serving children birth through kindergarten. The goal of the Institute is to provide early childhood educators with professional development training in the use of performing arts techniques within educational curriculum goals and outcomes for young children. The infusion of arts-based techniques into daily routines provides powerful teaching strategies that can be used to enhance all areas of development, including emergent literacy, self-esteem and socialization, problem solving, receptive and expressive language, motor skills and self-regulation, science and math, conceptualization, and creativity, in order to provide a solid foundation for all future learning.

NOMA Egg Hunt and Family Festival 2020 - CANCELED
2020-04-04 10:00 - 13:00 | Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, 1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans , LA, 70124
In consideration of the Governor’s ban on public gatherings of over 250 people, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our annual fundraiser, the NOMA Egg Hunt & Family Festival on Saturday, April 4, in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden.
We thank our sponsors, donors, committee members, volunteers and participants for their support. The safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers, and guests (young and old) are our highest priorities.
Funds raised at the NOMA Egg Hunt & Family Festival support the education and exhibition programs of NOMA. Please consider your tickets and sponsorships as a direct donation to the museum. Your support is even more critical to NOMA during these difficult times.
For our current sponsors and ticket holders, we will be putting together bags of eggs and other treats for you to create a home-based egg hunt — we thank Adventure Quest Laser Tag, Elmer Chocolate and Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers for their donations to these bags. Again, thank you to our sponsors and ticket holders for all for your generous support.
NOMA has decided to temporarily close our doors to aid in the prevention of the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). We are motivated to act together in accordance with instructions from our state and local government regarding one of the most effective measures for preventing the spread of the virus, which is social distancing.
We look forward to welcoming back our public, staff and volunteers, all of whom are critically important to our success.

Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline Tobin and Raymond Dobard
Anchor, 2000, ISBN: 0385497679
In 1993, historian Jacqueline Tobin met African American quilter Ozella Williams amid piles of beautiful handmade quilts in the Old Market Building of Charleston, South Carolina. With the admonition to “write this down,” Williams began to describe how slaves made coded quilts and used them to navigate their escape on the Underground Railroad. During the three years it took for Williams’s narrative to unfold—and as the friendship and trust between the two women grew—Tobin enlisted New Orleans native Raymond Dobard, Ph.D., an art history professor and well-known African American quilter, to help unravel the mystery.

Lecture: Herbert Bayer and the Bauhaus Legacy in America with Benjamin Benus
2020-03-11 12:00
NOMA invites artists, curators, and other special guests to speak throughout the year. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation.
Benjamin Benus, an associate professor of art and design history at Loyola University in New Orleans, specializes in the history of twentieth-century art and design, with a focus on Central Europe in the years between the world wars. His research examines connections between avant-garde art, scientific illustration, and data visualization during this period. This talk will be held in NOMA’s boardroom on the second floor.
As director of the Bauhaus printing and advertising workshop from 1925 to 1928, the Austrian-born artist Herbert Bayer helped to shape the school’s distinctive approach to graphic design. This talk, presented in conjunction with the exhibition An Ideal Unity: The Bauhaus and Beyond, considers how Bayer, following his immigration to the United States in 1938, continued to explore and develop Bauhaus design principles within a variety of media, including book illustration, advertising, and exhibition design.
