Odyssey Ball The New Orleans Museum of Art’s Odyssey Ball marked its 50th anniversary. For the patron hour, Timothee Lovelock performed on violin and as the DJ (he was then the DJ for the late night party), followed by Karma in the Great Hall. 1718 Catering & Events/Hyatt Regency New Orleans Hotel catered the cuisine. Cocktails by the Grand Bevy were served in champagne coupe glasses with a liqueur logo on top! A fabulous silent auction featured vacations, jewelry, home furnishings, and art. Included was artist George Dunbar, whose “Elements of Chance” exhibit, along with “Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection” were featured for this ball, presented by IberiaBank. Event co-chairs Susu and Andrew Stall, along with their committee, NOMA staff, volunteers, Z Event Company and other vendors created a stunning, one-of-a-kind setting for guests to enjoy.
