The New Orleans Art Scene


There are numerous venues in which you can enjoy the arts and culture of New Orleans. We will be going on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, but there are so many more places to go. When it rains, or you are between shoots consider exploring one or a few of these great places--be it the galleries of Julia Street, the Louisiana State Museum, Contemporary Art Center, or New Orleans Museum of Art in majestic City Park. Check out Art New Orleans Magazine for listings of exhibitions and events happening while we are in town!
