Get smART at Art for Arts' Sake

Remember those days of drawing houses with the sun in the top corner, a dog on the side and your stick-leg family smiling happily at the crowd?

This isn't that day.

If you're looking for a consciously cultured activity to do this weekend, then Van Gogh with your friends and family to New Orleans' annual Art for Arts' Sake fall festival. Enjoy a day of exploring New Orleans' finest artist galleries that will surely make Mona Lisa smile. 

Start off in the Warehouse District where galleries are hosting open houses for art lovers galore. Cash bars outside can help get you in the sophisticated mood to pontificate Picasso...or just get you drunk (we don't judge.)  



Then mosey your way to Magazine Street where shops are staying open to 9 p.m. to celebrate the occasion. Grab another drink…and don't forget many shops have specials and promotions just for the evening. Translation: save your Friday paycheck for this Saturday!

End the evening at The Contemporary Arts Center for more exhibits and musical performances that allow you to dance your smARTy pants off or at least mildly rock back and forth while you secretly dance in your head. And of course there are more drinks; but not enough so you can't drive. The party ends here, comrades.

Ahhh….ART you glad you live in New Orleans?
