Black History Month Gallery Talk with Big Chief Dow Edwards

Wed, February 5th at 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM

Every week, NOMA hosts gallery talks in the museum and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden led by curators, artists, and other special guests. These lively, participatory conversations provide a moment to take a close look at one work—or a selection of works—currently on view.

For the month of February, weekly gallery talks will focus on topics and artworks in celebration of Black History Month. This week, join Big Chief Dow Edwards of the Timbuktu Warriors for a conversation about his Spyboy Shango Suit currently on view in Sand Ash Heat: Glass at the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Included with museum admission, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative. When you arrive at NOMA, check in at the admissions desk for directions to the appropriate location.
