6 – 10 PM
The LUNA Ball is Arts New Orleans’ annual fundraising event that helps light the way for our arts programs throughout the year. Featuring light-up couture by local fashion designers Vanshawn Branch and Renee Johnson and a one-of-a-kind fashion show, as well as light-up projections by local artists, the LUNA Ball is a night to remember!
Guests are encouraged to “Get Lit” in light-up attire and enjoy delicious cocktails and cuisine and music by DJ Legatron Prime. New this year – The LUNA Ball will include an art auction featuring original works by local artists! Talented artists who participate in Arts New Orleans’ City Park and Marsalis Harmony Park Arts Markets have donated artwork that will be auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting Arts New Orleans initiatives such as our Young Artist Movement program.
LUNA Ball guests will also be invited to attend a unique opportunity to view the world-renowned Luminarium by UK-based Architects of Air located in the Mississippi River Heritage Park during LUNA Fête free of charge.
