Step back in time to the golden age of jazz at The Contemporaries' French Quarter Fête, an unforgettable evening at the Columbia Museum of Art. Immerse yourself in the sultry charm of 1940s and 1950s New Orleans — the birthplace of jazz — where the air will hum with the rhythm of swing dancers, velvet tones, and post-prohibition-era energy. Guests will sip on handcrafted cocktails and indulge in exquisite New Orleans–inspired bites while the sounds of live jazz set the mood for a night of glamour and revelry.
Wander through the museum's transformed galleries to discover fortune tellers, a touch of magic and other mysterious delights before taking part in our signature Live Art Auction, benefiting the Contemporaries' mission to make the CMA the premier destination for art and culture in the Midlands. Dress to impress in your vintage best, and join us for an evening where art, music, and magic intertwine — because in the spirit of New Orleans, this is one night where anything can happen.
