Wednesday, April 15, 6-8 p.m.-Reception for new exhibitions

Join us to celebrate the openings of two special exhibitions--Women Artists in Louisiana, 1825-1965: A Place of Their Own and A Discourse in Abstraction: Jennifer Odem and NOMA's Permanent Collection. Co-organized by NOMA and The Historic New Orleans Collection, Women Artists in Louisiana highlights the work of female artists from the Bayou State in a variety of mediums and styles. A Discourse in Abstraction showcases new work by the emerging New Orleans-based sculptor Odem juxtaposed with 20th-century art owned by the Museum. This event is part of the Mid-Week in Mid-City series of public programs on Wednesday evenings and is open to the public.
