Art for Art's Sake is this coming Saturday! This fundraiser supports the Contemporary Art Center, takes place at the beginning of the fall every year and this year is even more special since "Art for Art's Sake is celebrating its 30th birthday. It has become a city wide event that has locals and tourists alike walking all over the city from the French Quarter, to the Warehouse District and down Magazine Street. Boutique shops, art galleries, jewelers, and antique shops will keep their doors open late to encourage "go-cup" fisted buyers to pull out their wallets and reveal new fall collections.The Julia Street block party starts at 6:00 pm and the CAC opens its doors (for a $10.00 cover) at the same time for an art installation, food and live music. Canary Collective will also be hosting a show (this one free) at 329 Julia Street from 6-9.
On Magazine Street I am already looking forward to visiting my friends over at Perch, Katy Beh Contemporary Jewelery, House of Lounge, Aidan Gill, Juliet Interiors, Hazelnut, and my most favorite jeweler in the world...Gogo!
Gogo is doing it up as she debuts her new space at 4222 Magazine Street, just a few steps down from her previous store. Enjoy Cupcakes, Champagne and music provided by Dubla. Dubla Music will be spinning to set the mood for the new store. Shout out to my girl Niki who will be making her jewelery debut alongside a few other jewelers that Gogo has decided needed a little "Crescent City" representation.I hope everyone gets their chic strut on this Saturday, enjoy the weather, a cold drink and help support our local merchants!
