In partnership with Where Y’Art, we’re unveiling a new collection of works by New Orleans artists, all paired with art-inspired conversation, signature cocktails, rhythmic sets by DJ Richie Rich, and culinary bites from the award-winning Compère Lapin.

This isn’t just an event—it’s an immersive celebration of culture, flavor, and the city we love, and best of all, it’s free and open to the public.

What Is the Art of Flavor?

Art of Flavor is where culinary tradition meets creative expression. It’s about more than what’s on the plate or the canvas—it’s about the stories behind them. In New Orleans, food is a form of storytelling, passed down through generations like art, using spices as colors and recipes as memory.

This theme celebrates the deep connections between food, culture, and community; honoring 10 years of culinary craft at Compère Lapin and a decade of local artistry through Where y’Art at The Old No. 77 Hotel. It’s a celebration of flavor in all its forms—bold, layered, and uniquely New Orleans.
