HEY! Please contact us if you have an Art Party event that you would like to schedule with us. We welcome all artistic events.

If you need to schedule a show in New Orleans or Memphis, we might be able to help you with that.

At any rate, if you are in the New Orleans area you should check out NOLADIY.ORG for all of your concert and community-event needs.

The Art Party strongly supports all productions by Memphis-based theatre troupe Our Own Voice, a non-profit organization working to empower people marginalized by mental illness, and striving to engage our community in dialogue about mental health.

The Art Party supports the monthly Critical Mass bike rides. This is a monthly event in cities all across the world to raise bicycle, environmental, and community awareness. In New Orleans, we meet every last Friday of the month at 6PM in front of St. Louis Cathedral (Jackson Square!) and we're all very nice people.



Again, do contact us if you have a question about an event, or would like to schedule an event with us! We'll try to put word out there for you. All members and friends of the Art Party are welcome to this, no matter how small your event!
