Arts District New Orleans

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

NEW ORLEANS (5 July 2024) – Arts District New Orleans (ADNO), the organization that founded the popular White Linen Night in 1994, is pleased to announce the 30th Anniversary celebration of the event on 3 August 2024, in conjunction with the First Saturday Gallery Openings. Fidelity Bank returns as the title sponsor of the event, which will take place from 5-10 p.m. on the 300-600 blocks of Julia Street and the 500 Block of Saint Joseph in the New Orleans’ historic Warehouse Arts District. Guests are strongly encouraged to don their white linen while strolling the district, visit the galleries, enjoy food and drink from local vendors, and art-centered street activations.

Each gallery will present new exhibitions, with world-class art installations from the talented artists represented. In addition to the Julia and Saint Joseph Streets block party event, member galleries off-Julia will also welcome guests, and area institutions The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) and The Ogden Museum of Southern Art will also open their doors and unveil new exhibitions of juried open calls featuring artists from the region.

“White Linen Night has been part of the Arts District calendar for 30 years,” says Leslie-Claire Spillman, ADNO President. “We are grateful for our continued partnership with Fidelity Bank, as well as renewed relationships with our many other regular sponsors. Thanks to their support, we are able to continue to welcome guests to the district and grow this event which we all know and love; a night of music, food, drink, fun, and most importantly ART. Join us for the art walk from 5-10 p.m. and keep the party going at the official afterparty hosted by The Ogden Museum of Southern Art!" (Click HERE to purchase afterparty tickets)
