On Saturday, August 3, 2013, the New Orleans Arts District will once again host the annual White Linen Night. From 6:00 to 9:00 galleries open their doors to thousands of patrons encouraged to wear outfits featuring white linen.
This year, we are happy to be participating again! We will be open at our Education Center at 747 Magazine Street (just a half block off of Julia Street).
On view will be all of our 2013 Art Contest winning artwork (winning artwork above)! Fifteen Louisiana high school juniors and seniors (below) beat out 600 students in order to share in $45,000 in college scholarships.
Additionally, the Rodrigue Steinway Blue Dog piano will be showcased! George Rodrigue painted this 100 year old Steinway and Sons Piano in partnership with the LSU School of Music and Hall Piano Company. The piano has even been signed and played by Billy Joel (pictured below)! Come by and request your favorite song from its internal 600 song library!
We hope you will not miss this unique opportuninity to see some of the great young talent from our state and to see and hear such a special musical instrument.
See you there!
