Fifty years ago, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts began training Louisiana’s young artists. Today, NOCCA is known around the world for its stellar faculty and its long list of accomplished alumni like Jon Batiste, Harry Connick Jr., Wendell Pierce, and Jeanne-Michele Charbonnet. 

Please join us as we celebrate this one-of-a-kind school at the NOCCA Foundation’s annual ART&SOUL gala, presented by the Meraux Foundation on Saturday, May 18, 2024. There, you’ll…

  • Dance to music from NOCCA students and alumni!
  • Enjoy food from NOCCA’s Culinary Arts students and some of your favorite chefs and restaurants!
  • Bid on artwork, vacation packages, and more in the ART&SOUL auction!

Special thanks to this year’s co-chairs: Marie and James CahnAnn and Virgil Duplessis, and Ida and Floyd James.

Additional details coming soon. Thanks for supporting Louisiana’s next generation of artists and leaders!
