The NOCCA Institute and the Lupin Foundation invite you to one of the best parties in a city known for its parties: ART & SOUL! Proceeds from ART & SOUL benefit the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), Louisiana’s arts conservatory for high school students.

ART & SOUL 2010 will take place Sunday, May 23 at NOCCA, located at 2800 Chartres Street in New Orleans’ historic Faubourg Marigny. The theme for this year’s event is Artists in Progress, celebrating the work that NOCCA students undertake every single day.

The ART & SOUL Patron Party, presented by Peoples Health, will be held from 6:00 – 7:00pm, and will feature early access to the silent auction and a special menu of savory hors d’oeuvres by some of New Orleans’ best chefs. The ART & SOUL Gala will follow from 7:00 – 10:30pm. Gala guests will be treated a dinner buffet, open bar, live music by the Michael Pellera Quartet, Johnaye Kendrick, the NOCCA Alumni All-Stars, and special performances by NOCCA students.

A popular feature of the event is our fabulous silent and live auction, featuring  a weekend stay at the Lowell Hotel in New York, a drawing by George Dureau, two round-trip tickets from American Airlines, plus outstanding artwork, vacation packages, home furnishings, jewelry, gift certificates, and much more.
