Documenting a historic pivot on what promised to be a dreary Mardi Gras season this year, the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans wasted no time in gathering the freshly crafted and celebrated artifacts for a special pop up exhibition. The artistic creations from the most captivating of this year's "house floats" will be displayed all in one location for the first (and likely last) time, celebrating the enduring spirit of creative collaboration central to New Orleans' culture. Visitors can view the exhibit for free on Saturdays and Sundays through April 4 at the CAC's St. Joseph Street Warehouse. On March 20, the works will be available for purchase through an online auction benefiting New Orleans' culture bearers and the CAC. Reserve your time slot at cacno.org/hireamardigrasartist.
