O What a Night! Gala

You'll be quoting the name of the event before the end of the evening: "O what a night!" Certainly an apt response to a gala that features the finest of New Orleans cuisine, silent and live auctions featuring art from noted Southern artists. Cuban-American painter Luis Cruz Azaceta will receive the annual Opus Award. Proceeds from the gala go towards the Ogden Museum's mission to showcase the diversity and importance of Southern art through exhibitions and education initiatives. 6 pm–midnight at 925 Camp Street. Tickets start at $600. On October 19, there will be a Patron Party and auction preview. ogdenmuseum.org.
