For art and architecture admirers that are turned off by the hordes of people at White Linen Night and other such events, please be certain to check out the schedule for the DesCours installations that will be tucked away throughout the Downtown area. What is DesCours?
DesCours is a free, public, week-long architecture and art event now in its third year, held the second week of December in New Orleans. This event invites internationally renowned architects and artists to create 14 architecture installations within ‘hidden’ locations in the heart of New Orleans, including private courtyards, rooftops, abandoned buildings and walkways, all locations normally unseen, inaccessible or unused by the public.
Tomorrow night’s event marks the public opening. Complimentary beverages will be provided by Ketel One and NOLA Brewing Company at the early exhibit.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2009 6–8pm: DJ PAUL with drinks provided by Ketel One and Nola Brewery 1000 St. Charles Avenue (AIA New Orleans Center for Design) / Christophe Gauspohl + Scott Carter + Mario Schambon 8–10pm: French Classics Stylings by SARAH QUINTANA 523 Iberville Street / Grégoire Diehl (Smoothcore)
I am not certain that I will make Wednesday’s event, but I will be at Friday’s event at 200 Carondelet Street, featuring DJ Quintron. Please say hello if you will be out!
