FIDELITY BANK WHITE LINEN NIGHT
The Helis Foundation, a group dedicated to connecting individuals in the community to the arts, is helping New Orleans residents to beat the heat this summer. For the month of August, if the temperature on Saturdays is at or above 95 degrees, New Orleans residents can gain free admission to three of New Orleans’ top art museums: the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Contemporary Arts Center, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect the community to local art experiences.
On August 6, join Fidelity Bank and Art District New Orleans (ADNO) for White Linen Night on Julia Street. For this event, participants dress in all white attire and stroll through several blocks of works from galleries, museums, and institutions in the surrounding area. There will be food and drinks from local vendors, as well as art-centric activities. White Linen Night will take place from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with more information available on their website.
