Art of the City, Postmodern to Post-Katrina highlights contemporary art in New Orleans.

Presented by the Helis Foundation this is the first exhibit to be displayed in the The Historic New Orleans Collection's Seignouret-Brulatour building.(THNOC).

Join me and curator/artist Jan Gilbert for a tour of the exhibit, and a discussion of contemporary art in New Orleans. Jan's enthusiasm for the art and the artists really comes through.

By the end of this episode you'll be planning your next visit to THNOC and mapping out your route to find the art scattered across New Orleans.
