Art of Giving Holiday Shopping
Do you make shopping an art form? You can at the annual Art of Giving Holiday Shopping event on December 2 at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art / University of New Orleans! Located at 925 Camp Street from 6 – 8 p.m., get your holiday shopping completed while exploring the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s Center for Southern Craft & Design.
