WHAT:
Overture to the Cultural Season will host its first gala since 2004 to officially kick off the cultural season and celebrate the essence of New Orleans' arts, music, theatre, dance and creative writing. The theme of the gala will be "Cultural Second Line." The evening's proceeds will go toward providing scholarships for New Orleans'
talented youth to encourage them to remain here in New Orleans and continue to contribute to the legacy of this city's rich and vibrant culture.
The gala will feature cocktails, a buffet and dancing with Deacon John & the Ivories and Anais St. John with Harry Mayronne, Jr. Ruthie Winston, of New Orleans Auction, will be hosting silent and live auctions for guests to enjoy. There will also be a spending spree raffle and beautiful silk scarves made out of an original watercolor by Tim Trapolin available for purchase ($40, limited edition). Guests will be entertained by fire-dancing greeters, roaming performance art, caricature artists, henna tattoos and more. Now in its 49th year, Overture to the Cultural Season is the umbrella organization to all the arts of New Orleans, including more than 50 member organizations representing the symphony, opera, ballet, theatre and more.
