Kicking off the Boogaloo


Local artists and roughly 1,000 pieces of their artwork will be heading for Norfolk, Virginia for the 19th Annual Bayou Boogaloo and Cajun Food Festival to be held June 20 - 22, 2008. This event will showcase handmade original New Orleans’ art and provide needed sales to local artists. The result of many months of planning and coordinating between the Arts Council of New Orleans and Norfolk Festevents, this “take-the-show-on-the-road” trip is part of the Arts Council’s aggressive strategy for promoting the cultural economy of New Orleans while providing viable avenues for artists to bring their creative works to the marketplace.
