FORESTival
A Studio in the Woods 13401 Patterson Road, New Orleans, Louisiana 70131
A Studio In The Woods once again welcomes the public into its creative haven for the twelfth annual FORESTival, a celebration of art and nature. One of a few live-in artists’ retreats in the Deep South, A Studio in the Woods occupies seven-and-a-half acres on the Mississippi River in New Orleans and fosters both environmental preservation and the creative work of all artists. This year's FORESTival will showcase the work of artist/residents—including Brandon Ballengée, Pippin Frisbie-Calder, Shay Nichols, Sha'Condria "Icon" Sibley, and The Weavers Project featuring kai barrow, Willa Conway, and La Tonya Green—as well as the history and happenings of this unique environment. It's a chance to experience Louisiana’s Wetlands set to live music with food, artistic demonstrations and activities, a walk in the woods with scientists, and more. This year's musical lineup includes Shamarr Allen, Sabine McCalla, and Wayne Singleton & Same Ol' 2 Step, along with Zydeco dance instruction from Harold Guillory. 11 am–5 pm. $15; children are free. astudiointhewoods.org.
