SUMMARY:Teen Summer Series workshop with Christian "Cubs the Poet" Davenport
DESCRIPTION:Although we can’t gather in person\, the Teen Summer Series aims to create a virtual space for us to learn about artists’ practices and to create together! Join us on Zoom on Fridays August 14\, 21\, and 28 at 3 pm for a series of workshops with local creatives working in a range of mediums.  \nWorkshops are FREE and open to all teens\, however space is limited. Please check out the descriptions and materials needed for each workshop below\, and follow this link to sign up for one or all three! No art experience or prior knowledge is necessary to participate.  \nIdentity with Christian “Cubs the Poet” Davenport\nFriday\, August 21\, 3 pm on Zoom \nYour senses are being conditioned. Which one is your favorite of the five? Do you realize how you maneuver through the environment using your senses? If you could not see\, how would you describe beauty? If you could not hear\, how would you know the truth? This workshop allows you space to ponder over the privilege you have in creating your own identity. \nWhat you’ll need: Paper and things to write or draw with (pen or pencil or other artistic tools). \n  \n \nAbout the Teaching Artist \nChristian “Cubs the Poet” Davenport was born in Baton Rouge\, LA and raised in the DMV (District of Columbia\, Maryland\, Virginia). Growing up\, he attended Catholic schools\, yet each school was predominantly of one race. He believes he witnessed the effects of institutional education on all identifying races and classes in America. Wanting to develop and understand his own way of thinking\, Cubs left college to start typing custom poems in the French Quarter\, where he honed his poetic skills and expanded his vocabulary with regards to communicating with tourists and natives. He believes freedom is not the experience\, but the expression of the experience. The inaugural Poet Laureate of Baton Rouge\, Cubs is currently working on self publishing his first book of poems and art\, What I Did with my Free Time. Cubs the Poet is also a visual artist\, whose latest exhibition\, “Say It: I Love Black People\,” delved into the lack of intimacy and vulnerability between races\, in addition to the lack of development of self love. \nThe workshop is projected to run 90 minutes on Zoom. Open to all teens! Spots are limited.\nClick here to register. Confirmation and the Zoom link will be provided by email.

SUMMARY:LOVE in the Garden 2020 presented by Hancock Whitney - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Museum of Art has made the difficult decision to cancel our annual fundraiser\, LOVE in the Garden presented by Hancock Whitney scheduled for Friday\, September 25\, 2020. Given the number of attendees and the social distancing guidelines issued by the City of New Orleans and State of Louisiana due to the COVID- 19 pandemic\, the New Orleans Museum of Art’s leadership along with presenting sponsor\, Hancock Whitney\, agreed that canceling the event would be in the best interest of public health safety. \nThe well-being and safety of staff\, volunteers\, sponsors\, guests\, and donors are NOMA’s and Hancock Whitney’s highest priorities. \nFor fifteen years\, LOVE in the Garden\, which takes place in the iconic Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden\, celebrates the visual and culinary artists of New Orleans with a festive evening offering the best of New Orleans cuisine\, spirits\, and entertainment. Over 1\,500 guests enjoy featured menu items from over 60 of New Orleans’ finest restaurants\, caterers and food trucks\, as well as craft cocktails from New Orleans’ top bartenders. The funds raised at LOVE provide crucial general operating support to NOMA\, allowing us to keep staff on payroll\, create innovative virtual content and serve our community with educational initiatives. \nWe thank our presenting sponsor\, Hancock Whitney as well as all of our loyal sponsors\, patrons\, donors and volunteers who have made LOVE the success that it is. We look forward to celebrating with all of you in 2021 for a spectacular LOVE in the Garden presented by Hancock Whitney.

SUMMARY:Helen Gillet in Virtual Concert for Mending the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Helen Gillet is a singer-songwriter and surrealist-archaeologist who explores synthesized sounds\, textures\, and rhythms using an acoustic cello. For Mending the Sky\, Gillet will weave together a soundscape using cello\, drum machine\, sounds in nature\, loop pedal\, poetry and storytelling. Across a series of three solo performances\, Gillet will explore the vibrations of sonic disturbance: the tipping points where swollen rivers of human tension and natural imbalances flood the banks of an unsustainable society. Responding to quarantine\, friction and trauma\, Gillet’s performances will search for homeostasis and seek to create spaces for empowerment as she responds musically to the artists and ideas explored in the show. \nEach of three solo performances will take place within the exhibition galleries for Mending the Sky and stream for free across NOMA’s social media channels to offer a wide audience an intimate musical experience at a time when few opportunities for live music exist. \nJoin us on NOMA’s YouTube or Instagram channels or the home page of noma.org. \nAdditional live-streaming concerts will be held on Sunday\, December 6\, 2020\, and Sunday\, January 31\, 2021\, at 6 pm. \nVirtual programs at NOMA are made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n                                                \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Zemurray Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; The City of New Orleans; IBERIABANK; The Wagner Foundation; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative\, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

SUMMARY:New Photography Virtual Lunch Hour Preview
DESCRIPTION:Join NOMA for an exhibition preview during lunch hour for our fall exhibition New Photography: Create\, Collect\, Compile. Sign up to join the Zoom video session on Monday\, November 2\, from 12 to 1 pm with Russell Lord\, the Freeman Family Curator of Photographs\, Prints\, and Drawings\, and Brian Piper\, Mellon Foundation Assistant Curator for Photography\, as they share the work of four contemporary photographers and discuss themes from the exhibition. Questions and feedback are encouraged. \nREGISTER NOW FOR NOVEMBER 2\, 12 pm \nRegistration will close at 11 am on Monday\, November 2. \nA happy hour preview will take place on Thursday\, November 5\, at 6 pm. Registration will close at 5 pm on that date. \nREGISTER NOW FOR NOVEMBER 5\, 6 pm \nThis exhibition presents the work of four photographers\, all of whom work with\, and critique\, these new practices in photography. Unified by their understanding of the photograph as an ambiguous messenger\, each of these artists creates\, collects\, or compiles photographs to trace narratives about identity\, community\, and power. These narratives are then presented in forms that invite us to consider the relationship between photographs and the spaces in which they are taken or viewed. Collectively\, they assert that photography\, as it currently exists\, is a kind of open-source language. The exhibition will open to the public on November 6\, 2020 in the Templeman Galleries at NOMA. \nQuestions about the program? Please feel welcome to contact us at education@noma.org. \nImage credit: Esther Hovers (Dutch\, b. 1991)\, False Positives\, Overview\, 2015-2016 \, Archival pigment print\, Courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:New Photography Happy Hour Preview
DESCRIPTION:Join NOMA for an exhibition preview during happy hour for our fall exhibition New Photography: Create\, Collect\, Compile. Sign up to join the Zoom video session on Thursday\, November 5\, from 6 to 6 pm with Russell Lord\, the Freeman Family Curator of Photographs\, Prints and Drawings\, and Brian Piper\, Mellon Foundation Assistant Curator for Photography\, as they share the work of four contemporary photographers and discuss themes from the exhibition. Questions and feedback are encouraged. \nRegistration will close at 3 pm on November 5. \nREGISTER NOW FOR NOVEMBER 5 \nThis exhibition presents the work of four photographers\, all of whom work with\, and critique\, these new practices in photography. Unified by their understanding of the photograph as an ambiguous messenger\, each of these artists creates\, collects\, or compiles photographs to trace narratives about identity\, community\, and power. These narratives are then presented in forms that invite us to consider the relationship between photographs and the spaces in which they are taken or viewed. Collectively\, they assert that photography\, as it currently exists\, is a kind of open-source language. The exhibition will open to the public on November 6\, 2020 in the Templeman Galleries at NOMA. \nQuestions about the program? Please feel welcome to contact us at education@noma.org. \nImage credit: Esther Hovers (Dutch\, b. 1991)\, False Positives\, Overview\, 2015-2016 \, Archival pigment print\, Courtesy of the artist

His art draws together music from many different international contexts to consider how music can speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the Southern United States. Integrating sounds and rhythms from many different cultures\, Chouki combines classical guitar with instruments such as the loutar\, a traditional instrument of the Middle Atlas region of Morocco; the sintir\, a Sub-Saharan instrument from the Sahel region (Mali); the oud\, an oriental lute; the Algerian mandole\, a steel-string fretted instrument resembling an elongated mandolin; the Bağlama saz\, a Turkish long necked bowl-lute; the banjo\, and a variety of percussion instruments. As artistic director of Rencontre Orient-Occident at Chateau Mercier in Sierre\, Switzerland\, Chouki has brought together a wide range of international musicians to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West\, with music often the only common language between performers. \nBest known as a founding member of jazz/funk band Naughty Professor\, Noah Young is one of the most sought-after bassists in New Orleans. Having moved to the city to study jazz with a who’s who of local legends\, Young has stayed busy in his 8+ years of activity in the music scene composing\, recording\, and performing with numerous artists\, including: David Shaw\, George Porter Jr.\, Chali 2na\, Big Freedia\, Ivan Neville\, Eric Bloom\, Mike Dillon\, Sasha Masakowski\, Nigel Hall\, Russell Batiste\, Dee-1\, The Stooges Brass Band\, Leroy Jones\, and many more. No wonder he garnered a nomination for “Best Bassist” in 2017 from OffBeat Magazine\, New Orleans’ largest music publication. \nTicket Limits\nThe purchase of Member tickets is limited by your membership level. \nIndividual: Limit 1 \nFriends & Family: Limit 2 \nSustaining\, Benefactors\, Young Fellows\, and Friends of the Sculpture Garden: Limit 4 \nFellows and Circles: Limit 6 \nTo upgrade your membership\, please contact the membership office at membership@noma.org or (504) 658-4130. \nSafety Guidelines\nNOMA is committed to the health and safety of our community.
