| Mar 4 Echoes of Innovation |
| The 2026 Musical Louisiana: America’s Cultural Heritage concert will celebrate 19th-century Creole composers and innovators. Curated by Alvin Jackson of Treme’s Petit Jazz Museum, this concert will present works by Barès, Lambert, Gottschalk, Dédé, Martin, and more. Pairing composers alongside civic and cultural pioneers of their day, this concert reflects the interplay of art and society as a reminder that art never exists in isolation—its creation is always rooted in the world that shapes it. The GRAMMY® Award–winning Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra will be joined by guest artists Doreen Ketchens, OperaCréole, Oscar Rossignoli, and Geovane Santos under the baton of Daniela Candillari. The concert is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. Seating at St. Louis Cathedral will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors for the concert open at 7 p.m. Preconcert Talk with Alvin Jackson: At 6 p.m., a preconcert talk at the Historic New Orleans Collection’s Williams Research Center (410 Chartres Street) will feature Alvin Jackson, facilitated by HNOC family historian Jari C.

| Mar 12 Small Craft Warnings by Tennessee Williams |
| Booze. Desire. Regret. Hope. In a foggy seaside bar at the edge of nowhere, a ragtag band of drifters, dreamers, and beautiful messes drink, flirt, fight, and cling to one another as the storm rolls in. Everyone’s waiting for something—love, rescue, one last shot—and time is running out. Small Craft Warnings is Tennessee Williams at his rawest, funniest, and most compassionate: a salty, storm-tossed portrait of desire, loneliness, and the fragile hope that keeps us afloat together. Sharp, deeply human, and unexpectedly hilarious, this rarely produced gem crackles with biting humor, aching vulnerability, and Williams’s unmistakable poetry—and feels just as urgent today as when it first shocked audiences. Presented in collaboration with the Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival. ?? Lower Depths Theatre (Loyola University New Orleans, 6363 St. Charles Ave.) ? Run time: 1 hour 45 minutes (One 15-minute intermission) |

| Mar 18 Reimagining New Orleans: The Sketchbook of J.?N.?B. de Pouilly |
| In February 1834, French-born architect Jacques Nicolas Bussière de Pouilly began to record his most daring ideas for New Orleans. For more than 40 years, he filled a 400-page sketchbook with visionary designs for houses, public buildings, and tombs—proposals so avant-garde that very few clients dared to build them. Had they been more adventurous, New Orleans might look radically different today. Though de Pouilly’s name has faded and most of his built designs are gone—save for the iconic St. Louis Cathedral—his work lives on in his sketchbook of remarkable drawings, held at HNOC. In this lecture, presented by the Louisiana Landmarks Society and hosted by HNOC, architectural historian Ann?M. Masson will lead a tour through de Pouilly’s imagination, revealing bold ideas that never came to be. Admission is free, with registration required on hnoc.org. A reception offering light refreshments will follow the lecture. |

| Mar 21 One Single Place: Louisiana and the Shaping of the Early American Republic |
| In celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, HNOC and the New Orleans Foundation for Francophone Cultures (Nous) will copresent a daylong multimedia program that traces the shaping of our American identity through presentations, films, and musical performances. The 2026 History Symposium focuses on the years following the Revolutionary War, when cultural exchange and trade—particularly between Native Americans and Francophone colonists along the Mississippi River—changed the perception of what it means to be American. From folktales and musical traditions to the interplay of nationalism and ethnic heritage, join us as we explore a pivotal era in US history through lively discussion and entertainment. |

| Aug 12 Convergence® 2026 Fashion Show and Dessert Reception |
| Join the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. for a spectacular Fashion Show featuring wearable art designed and handmade by fiber artists from around the world. Inspired by Krewe of Threads: Let the Good Times Roll, this year’s show captures the vibrancy and diversity of New Orleans. Dance, sing, applaud, and feel the beat as each fiber artist’s work comes alive on our runway models. Invited Artists: Patti Barker is an award-winning felt wear designer, teacher, and author. She earned a BA degree in studio art with a concentration in fiber at Western Washington University. Barker’s fascination with fabric and fashion is bound in her DNA. Barker’s felting journey began in 2007 with a study of simulated skins as a protective covering and identifier. She is intrigued by the way the wearable art transforms its wearer. Dianne “Gumbo Marie” Honoré is a seventh-generation New Orleanian, cultural activist, and Big Queen of the Yellow Pocahontas Hunters. Dianne creates powerful multidisciplinary works blending art, fashion, and history. Founder of the Black Storyville Baby Dolls, her Mardi Gras regalia is in Paris’s Quai Branly Museum, celebrating Louisiana Creole traditions on international stages. Amber M. Jensen began making backpacks as functional, wearable art, which led her to explore the durability and expressive potential of cloth. Jensen’s weaving draws from a layered mix of influences—Appalachian overshot patterns, Scandinavian restraint, and deep respect for Indigenous relationships to material and place. Her works are narrative palimpsests, reflecting her days, feelings, and evolving identity as an artist. Margaret Roach Wheeler, a Native American of Chickasaw-Choctaw descent, merged her fine arts education with her Native American heritage to weave contemporary garments based on American Indian regalia. Wheeler is the recipient of numerous honors and awards and her work has been exhibited both regionally and nationally. |
