The Arts District of New Orleans (ADNO) is a burgeoning hub for young professionals and creatives. The organization strives to connect all aspects of the visual arts, culinary arts, musical arts, and the art of travel in this sought after neighborhood. This community is rich in character, and features stylish, cutting-edge galleries, prestigious museums, and some of the best restaurants and bars in the city. ADNO looks to promote all aspects of this architecturally distinctive historic district of New Orleans and its businesses.
ADNO hosts free gallery receptions every First Saturday of the month from 6-9PM, which often premieres new exhibitions. The association also sponsors three major events every year: Jammin’ on Julia, White Linen Night, and Art for Arts’ Sake | Downtown. These fundraising events are meant to encourage both tourists and the local community to appreciate the art scene in New Orleans. As the District grows and innovates, it continues to find ways to expand and redefine its mission, including expert-led guided tours and a new mural project in collaboration with the Arts Council.
