White Linen: Cultural Convergence: The Architecture of New Orleans


"An intersection of the prevailing cultural attitudes that have shaped New Orleans’ architecture, this show is a look at the influences of French, Spanish, and American styles, overlain with the distinctive Creole character that have become synonymous with the city’s unique neighborhoods.

From the grand Greek Revival homes in the Garden District to the colorful Creole cottages in the Marigny, the city’s history and dominant social trends can be witnessed from front porch to inner courtyard."

This curated body of work will also explore the peculiar balance between commanding municipal spaces, overshadowing private backstreets, enveloped in their own intimate histories. Like New Orleans itself, cultural convergence is a decorative pattern of color, form, and sense of place.

PART ONE will open at The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery on White Linen Night- Saturday, August 3rd.
