In September we are throwing a casual get together at the art market to raise money for the NOLA Art of Giving fund. We will have our local artists set up as usual, along with a donation based drink table, dance music and more. We are accepting donations all weekend that will be used towards our base fund for supplies and advertisement for our next event in October, raising money for underprivileged children’s art programs here in New Orleans.
Stop by any night from Thursday through Sunday and get a drink, make a donation and hear more about what we are doing to give back to the city we love so much and the residents that support our art week after week. Want to get involved? We can help with that too!
