Look back on 2020 through the eyes of over 70 artists in the Arthur Roger Gallery’s latest exhibition “Art in the Time of Empathy.” Artists address the many aspects of quarantine, politics, and science in a time where physical distance has redefined these dialogues. The exhibition will be on view until December 19, 2020.

While we wait for the bustling French Quarter to return, The Historic New Orleans Collection’s new exhibition might do the trick. “French Quarter Life: People and Places in the Vieux Carré” is on display now and includes 22 paintings that explore the streets, buildings, and people in the Quarter through time.
