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 ninth 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. Celebrating the Studio's fiftieth anniversary, this year's FORESTival will showcase the work of former artist/residents—including Monica Haller, Geraldine Laurendeau, Jonathan "rat de bois farouche" Mayers, Margaret Pearce, Antenna's Draw-a-thon, and more—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 the Lost Bayou Ramblers, Panorama Brass Band, Blake Amos, and harpist Nancy Burtchaell. 10 am–5 pm. $15; children are free. astudiointhewoods.org.
