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 Chef Donald Link curating a Cajun-inspired dinner, silent and live auctions featuring art from noted Southern artists, and the presentation of the 2013 Opus Award to New Orleans philanthropist and Ogden Museum Trustee Bill Goldring, whose contributions to the cultural landscape of the South have created an enduring legacy.

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–11 pm at 925 Camp Street. (504) 539-9616 or ogdenmuseum.org.
