Founded in 2008 by like-minded arts lovers Jess Brown (now Jess Civello) and Janet Wilson, Culture Collision was created to provide New Orleans’ arts and culture organizations with a collective voice, as well as a platform for collaboration and promotion.
Now in its fourteenth year, Culture Collision is dedicated to fostering all of the nonprofit performing and visual arts organizations in the New Orleans metro-area. For thirteen years, we have kicked-off the cultural season with a unique happy hour involving close to 100 organizations. We strive to introduce potential audience members, volunteers, patrons and artists to the diverse mix of organizations the city has to offer.
Nowhere else in town boasts a collective of the city’s top arts groups, all under one roof, for the ultimate experience of artistic celebration and schmoozing. There’s something for everyone at Culture Collision, from unlimited networking and season announcements to exclusive promotions, free giveaways, live performances and a cash bar with happy hour specials.
