SUMMARY:First Fridays at NOMA
DESCRIPTION:#ExploreNOMA after hours.\nThe museum is open late night for an evening packed with musical performances\, gallery tours\, special pop-ups\, and a full bar. \nCheck out this month’s line-up below: \n\nMusical performance by the Lilli Lewis Project in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts at 7:30 pm\nGallery tours of NEW at NOMA: Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art by curator Katie Pfohl\nAn exclusive sneak peek at Steve Lands’s upcoming Rearranging the Planets\nDJ set from Felice Gee\nA special service project in collaboration with Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative\nFood from Original Thought Market*\nAnd a full bar from Café NOMA*\n\n$25 General Admission | $15 for Members \nBuy Tickets \n*Please note that food and drinks are not included in the ticket price. They are available for purchase directly from our partner vendors. \n\nAbout First Fridays at NOMA\nEach month\, the museum presents First Fridays at NOMA\, an after-hours inclusive programmatic mix of live DJs and bands; local creatives speaking about their favorite works of art; a range of performance and dance; and unique experiences of all kinds in response to art from across time and place. Participants will meet artists\, get creative\, and immerse themselves in New Orleans’s creative community. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project\nLilli Lewis. Photo by Liz Hogan. \nAs the story goes\, Lilli Lewis should never have been. Before she was born\, Lewis’s mother was told her baby probably wouldn’t survive due to lung trouble\, so the fact that Lewis now makes a living singing with those same lungs is a gift she never takes for granted. Lewis uses her voice to bring what she calls sacred songs into profane spaces\, and though she’s abandoned trying to define her sound\, she hopes her audiences leave shows knowing two things: that they are brilliant as they are\, and that they have the ability to use that brilliance to make a better world. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project is more than a band. It’s a pan-generational cult of radical decency that delivers heart-throbbing\, earnest rock and soul that “makes you want to put your hands in the air\, shout hallelujah and shake your booty for the rest of the night\, with enough energy to power a large city” (Jamie Anderson\, indie-music.com). \nLewis is said to have “Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s virtuoso commitment to her instrument and Odetta’s vocal power\, creating a show that is a force of nature.” The Louisiana Red Hot Records artist has two releases on the label of Dumpstaphunk\, Honey Island Swamp Band\, and 2018 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Cyril Neville. \nThe regular LLP lineup is a cosmic swarm of fellow idealist music nerds: Smokey Brown (Think Less\, Hear More)\, Wade Hymel (Dash Rip Rock)\, Ryan Murray (Marina Orchestra\, Bloco Jacare)\, Ole Oddlokken (Noisewater) and master composer/virtuoso bassist Dr. Jimbo Walsh. Willing to traverse any musical terrain\, LLP bears the spirit of days when everyone still believed music could change the world. \nLearn More \nIn the Galleries\nKeith Duncan (American\, b. 1967)\, Grambling State University Drum Major 2\, 2020\, Acrylic on wallpaper mounted to canvas\, Museum purchase\, P. Roussel Norman Fund\, E-2021-14.1\, Courtesy of the artist and Fort Gansevoort © Keith Duncan \nNEW at NOMA: Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art spotlights contemporary art recently purchased or gifted to the museum\, focusing on works by BIPOC\, LGBTQIA+\, and female-identifying artists. The second in a series of exhibitions that began in 2017\, NEW at NOMA reflects the museum’s ongoing commitment to make the art on its walls more reflective of the community that it serves. The installation\, which will rotate over time\, features work by local\, national\, and international artists\, and champions the work of emerging and underrepresented voices\, including those within New Orleans. \nIn 2020\, NOMA dedicated its available acquisition funds to purchasing works by BIPOC artists; more than half of the 20 works acquired are by artists from or working in New Orleans. As NOMA strives to become even more equitable and inclusive\, the museum’s commitment to addressing exclusions in the past by collecting through new acquisitions will continue through 2021 and beyond. \nLearn More \nAbout Rearranging the Planets\nCreative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands presents Rearranging the Planets\, a new musical performance reinterpreting composer Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Holst’s work as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nLearn More \nAbout Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative\nJane Place Neighbrohood Sustainability Initiative is a community land trust and housing rights organization committed to creating sustainable\, democratic\, and economically just neighborhoods and communities in New Orleans. \nLearn More \nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community. At this time\, visitors to the museum ages 12 and up are required to show proof of two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine (or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine)\, or negative results of a Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of your visit.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel Discussion: Margaret T.G. Burroughs
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual panel discussion about the life and work of painter\, activist\, and poet Margaret T.G. Burroughs. \nBorn in Saint Rose\, Louisiana\, Burroughs spent much of her professional career in Chicago\, where she was a cofounder of the DuSable Museum of African American History\, the nation’s first independent museum celebrating Black culture. \nNOMA recently acquired the artist’s only self-portrait\, which is now on view in the museum’s modern art galleries. This extraordinary work reflects Burroughs’s lifelong commitment to highlighting the contributions of Black artists to art history. It also illuminates the underestimated role African art played in the history of Modernism.  \nKatie Pfohl\, NOMA’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art\, will moderate the discussion with gallerist Dr. Stella Jones; Charlie Johnson\, President of the New Orleans chapter of the National Conference of Artists; and Ndubuisi Ezeluomba\, NOMA’s Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art. \nThe group will discuss Burroughs’s legacy and how this self-portrait helps tell a more complete story of art history—one that looks to a lineage of African art instead of just the Western European canon. \nRegister Now \nThis live virtual panel discussion is free with advanced registration and will take place via Zoom. After you register\, you’ll be sent an email including a link to access the talk on Thursday\, February 10.

Ranging from simple folk tales to sophisticated narratives of rebirth\, The Forest of Thieves and the Magic Garden opens a window onto a rich religious tradition. Some of their characters find bliss by renouncing the world\, others by living within it in peace and moderation. The climactic story follows an unsuspecting traveler’s journey through a forest of destructive passions. \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:Steve Lands: Rearranging the Planets
DESCRIPTION:Creative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands presents Rearranging the Planets\, a new musical performance reinterpreting composer Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Holst’s work as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nFeaturing Shea Pierre; Alfred Jordan\, Jr.; Xavier Molina; Max Moran; John Maestas; Gladney; Amari Ansari; and Cubs the Poet. With additional credits to Francis Wong\, Camille Lenain\, Meghan Stewart\, and Amina Scott. \nPerformances take place in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts on Friday\, February 18\, and Saturday\, February 19\, at 8 pm. \nTickets are $30 | $25 for members \nBuy Tickets \n  \n\n\nPerformance Credits and Performer Bios\n\n\n\n\nSteve Lands\nHailing from the city of Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Steve Lands has been swaying stages\, clubs\, bars\, museums\, houses-of-worship\, and studios the world over for more than a decade now. He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from working with great artists from all walks of life. His experience ranges from shows with R&B/gospel Grammy winner PJ Morton; doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and tours through Europe with Swiss pianist and composer Florian Favre to studio sessions with the Black Keys; jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters; playing in big bands with Ellis\, Jason\, Branford\, and Delfeayo Marsalis; and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire. Courage and care are his motivations for music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.\n\n\n\n\nShea Pierre\nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Shea Pierre started his musical journey at the age of 4. He joined his family’s gospel group\, the Williams Sisters\, and began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area. He later attended the prestigious New Orleans Center of Creative Arts\, where he studied with Michael Pellera\, Chris Severin\, Ellis Marsalis\, and Jason Marsalis. While in high school\, he toured parts of South Africa with the Batiste Brothers Band from New Orleans. Shea is a 2014 graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, where he studied jazz piano with Dan Wall. He continues to travel and engage in different projects throughout the Midwest.\n\n\n\n\nAlfred Jordan Jr.\nBorn in New Orleans in 1993\, Alfred Jordan Jr.’s parents noticed the gift that was on their son. Growing up in church\, gospel music played a huge part in molding him as a drummer. Alfred’s skill sprouted\, awarding him a full scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music graduating with a B.A. Alfred’s love for music turned into his profession\, landing his gig as the current drummer for Big Sam’s Funky Nation and has also been fortunate to work with Donald Harrison\, Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Kent Jordan as well as his collective projects NwaSoul Project and Bignatiouss. Alfred is forever grateful knowing this is “for the love of music.”\n\n\n\n\nXavier Molina\nWe have watched Xavier Molina grow as an artist since 2006 when he first picked up the trumpet. Xavier has blossomed into a singer/songwriter\, drummer and trumpeter with a heart dedicated to making great music. Xavier has played with several independent bands in the New Orleans\, Atlanta and Alabama areas\, and never ceases to amaze the audiences anywhere.\n\n\n\n\nMax Moran\nMax Moran is a Louisiana born musician and composer who has become a first-call bassist across several genres in New Orleans’ thriving music scene. Known for his versatility on electric bass\, upright bass\, and synthesizer\, Moran provides a solid\, soulful foundation to a number of classic and progressive bands. Performing since the age of thirteen\, Max Moran spent over ten years as the bassist of jazz master Donald Harrison and has also shared the stage with artists such as Davell Crawford\, Leo Nocentelli (The Meters)\, Bernie Worrell (Parliament/ Funkadelic)\, and Grammy nominees Christian Scott and Jamison Ross.\n\n\n\n\nJohn Maestas\nGuitarist John Maestas was born in Albuquerque\, New Mexico and is now based in New Orleans. He started his career first as a sideman to many inspiring contemporary young artists performing original music\, while also accompanying and learning from New Orleans legacy artists who keep the traditions of their city’s music alive and thriving. He has become known as a versatile music producer working in studios writing\, recording & performing songs for world-class artists including Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Jamison Ross\, Wendell Brunious\, MonoNeon\, John “Papa” Gros\, Elzhi\, Nesby Phips\, Fiend and many others. In 2016 he co founded the independent record label Bubble Bath Records with 3 other friends that helps to educate\, elevate & empower over twenty young artists who need support in navigating the music industry. “The Dream Catcher”\, the debut album from Maestas’ alt-rock band Juan Tigre\, is music inspired by the iconic high desert imagery of New Mexico and imbued with the expansive folklore of the Southwest.\n\n\n\n\nGladney\nGrammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and composer Gladney is a leading contemporary exponent of the saxophone. A 6th generation native of New Orleans’s Lower 9th Ward\, Gladney has performed and traveled professionally since the age of 12. Along with his work with The Rumble and the Jake Shears Band (Scissor Sisters)\, Gladney leads his own self-titled band and is preparing to release his debut EP and album this year.\n\n\n\n\nAmari Ansari\nAmari Ansari brings a fresh voice to the saxophone.

SUMMARY:CreativeMornings New Orleans: Jay McKay
DESCRIPTION:CreativeMornings New Orleans is back at NOMA on Friday\, February 25\, for a free event with artist Jay McKay in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts. Aybil opens the program with a musical performance. \nDoors open at 8:30 am\, and the event begins at 9 am. \nRegister Now \nAbout CreativeMornings\nCreativeMornings is a free monthly speaker series for the creative community. Started in 2008\, CreativeMornings now serves over 200 cities. Chapters around the world host events based on a common theme. The theme for February 2022 is “Monumental.” \nAbout Jay McKay\nJay McKay discovered his love for art in New Orleans’ public school system\, where he participated in various arts programs. Later\, he attended New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). At an early age\, Jay entered the culture of the historical Mardi Gras Indians. His grandfather handcrafted his first suit\, a tradition that Jay carried with him into adulthood. He still handcrafts his own suit every year. His creativity and his eye for art were instrumental in his success as a tattoo artist. His journey as a tattoo artist\, which began at the age of 15\, took his art to another level. Soon\, his focus shifted to painting on canvas. \nFollowing Hurricane Katrina\, Jay traveled to further his art education. He studied in Washington\, DC\, and Cape Town\, South Africa. ​In December 2015\, Jay presented his first solo art show called Retro●Spective. There\, he introduced a series of paintings focused on his life experiences in New Orleans ghettos in the ’90s. In January 2017\, he presented his second solo art show Year of the Camo\, a series of paintings. He has had the opportunity to present personal art pieces to various celebrities and is honored to share his most recent works with you.
