Art market hours: 11 a.m.–4 p.m.
Downtown New Orleans will once again be the center of swanky shopping as The Shop at The Collection hosts its wildly popular Holiday Art Market on Sunday, December 1. Come to the French Quarter for a packed day of activity at THNOC's new exhibition center, featuring 10 local artists who will take over a gallery to present expanded selections of their merchandise (see the full list of participants below). In addition to great shopping, there will be refreshments from Sobou and Café Cour, a raffle to win a black and gold picnic set, plus THNOC’s full assortment of exhibitions and guided tours.
The Holiday Art Market once again coincides with Member Appreciation Day where THNOC members receive 20 percent off all purchases—twice the standard discount—at both the market and The Shop. Memberships start at $35 per year and can be purchased online or by calling (504) 598-7155.
