With so much to do in New Orleans, many forget that the city’s art scene is just as vibrant as the food and music. Check out the highlighted exhibits below and search our calendar to find even more art in New Orleans.
The 2026 Maafa exhibition "Anchored by Ancestors" is a tribute to the timeless legacy of those whose strength, wisdom, and perseverance continue to guide our path. Across generations, our ancestors have carried the stories, traditions, and values that define our culture, leaving an indelible imprint on our collective journey. Their sacrifices became our foundation; their dreams became our inheritance. As we gather in their honor, we celebrate the enduring connection between past, present, and future, firmly rooted in the legacy of those who came before and empowered by the possibilities that lie ahead.
The exhibit opens at Ashé Cultural Arts Center on July 4. The annual MAAFA commemoration presented by Ashé Cultural Arts Center is on Saturday, July 4 at 7 a.m., beginning at Congo Square (701 N Rampart St.). All white attire is preferred.
