Art for Art's Sake
Gallery Hop
New Orleans Arts District Julia Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
The Magazine Street Merchants' Association's Art for Art's Sake is the Arts District-wide gallery hop that marks the opening of the city’s arts season and has traditionally been New Orleans’ largest art event of the year, bringing tens of thousands of people. Throughout the Warehouse Arts District (centered on Julia Street), approximately twenty galleries and museums will dazzle visitors with exhibits of contemporary art. Alongside the galleries, cash bars and food outposts operate up and down the Julia Street corridor—but for those planning on sitting down at one of the many restaurants in the vicinity, reservations are a must. neworleans.com
