Catfish often appear in Diedrick Brackens’s weavings as ancestral figures or spirit guides. Brackens builds new mythologies around these often ignored creatures. The artist's If you feed a river (2019) is included in the exhibition Mending the Sky.
MENDING THE SKY ON VIEW NOW
This fall the New Orleans Museum of Art will present Mending the Sky, the museum’s first major exhibition following the months-long shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On view through January 31, 2021, the exhibition features eleven artists’ projects that respond to a world turned upside down.
CONTACTLESS TICKETING
Prepaid, contactless ticketing is encouraged for museum visits: Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm. Wednesdays remain free for Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation.
ODYSSEY 2020
Limited tickets remain for three nights of themed music, food, and art tours—with safety in mind—for a modified version of our annual fundraising gala.*
