Each weekend in October, 2007, the French Market will present Jazz music throughout the French/Flea Market to pay tribute to the music which is completely spontaneous and genuine and so deeply associated with New Orleans.
“JAZZ AWARENESS began statewide in 1980, but in recent years this event has not had the attention it deserves,” says Kenneth Ferdinand, Executive Director of the French Market. "Jazz is an original American art form and has played an important role in New Orleans’ history and culture,’ Ferdinand added. “Now three decades old, JAZZ AWARENESS MONTH in October was the first annual celebration of this original American art form. Created in the state of its birth by the Louisiana Jazz Federation, JAM brings together fans and players of all jazz forms to perpetuate the most creative music in the world,” added Jason Patterson, Program Director, New Orleans Jazz Centennial Celebration.
Performances for Jazz Awareness Month are as follows:
Fri. Oct. 5 Greg Stafford
5-7 pm WashingtonArtilleryPark (across from Jackson Square)
Name of show, if any: Ronna S. Harris, Dispersing the Light: New Paintings and Drawings
Names of artist: Ronna S. Harris
Brief description of art (oil paintings, conceptual installation, bronze sculpture, group exhibit of gallery artists, etc.): A collection of paintings and drawings that are a synthesis of realism and abstraction. Please see attached artist statement.
Ronna S. Harris
Bridging Abstraction and Realism.
My paintings synthesize realism and abstraction. The still-life window scenes focus on documenting the play of exterior light upon interior objects. The compositions are a masterful play of light entering a window, illuminating the bottles and vessels lined up along its sill, and capturing the window’s distortion of the external environment and its prismatic lighting effects. The glass panes distort reality, bending and twisting the light around rendering each glass pane and bottle into its own little abstract painting. However, when the viewer steps back, what he or she observes is the window’s framework structuring and organizing the composition, altering the painting into a realist perspective of an exterior window scene.
My landscapes of water in nature, on close inspection, contain many intricacies and details, making it appear as an abstract work. The overall gesture of mark-making is vital, so as to attain the look of an abstract painting by the broken glazes of color and marks. The paintings are transformed into a representational image by glazing layers of veils of calligraphy. Up close the painting appears abstract, but viewed at a distance, they are transformed into a realist depiction of water in nature.
Preview Party: Friday, October 5th, 2007, 6-8pm
Opening date of exhibition: Saturday, October 6th, 2007
Date and time of opening reception: Saturday, October 6th, 6-9 pm.

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, October 5 - 21 at One Eyed Jacks
New Orleans, LA - Join Running With Scissors as they stumble back a few decades to the ivy-covered halls of the Eastland School, home to Blair, Tootie, Jo, Natalie, and their spunky supervisor, Mrs. Garrett. It's late in the spring semester, and the girls have just one thing on their minds: hot dates for the senior prom! But it's when part-time housekeeper/full-time proselytizer Margaret White moves into the attic with her telekinetic daughter, Carrie, that things really start to heat up! Will Blair be, like, totally banned from the prom? Will Natalie confess her true feelings to Jo? Will Tootie ever take off those damn rollerskates? And, um, what's the deal with Cousin Jerri? Tune in this October and find out!

Technical assistance by Zalia BeVille and Cameron Stewart.

Magazine Street Merchants Association announces its 11th annual participation in Art for Art's Sake, Saturday, October 6th, 2007, sponsoring free shuttle bus service along six miles of Magazine Street. Free bus service starts at 6pm and runs until 10pm.
To celebrate Art for Art's Sake, New Orleans' annual city wide gallery crawl, many Magazine Street art galleries, antique & specialty shops, boutiques, restaurants and coffee houses will remain open until 10pm. Some merchants will have live music and serve complimentary refreshments. The night kicks off the art season as well as the beginning of fourth quarter
holiday shopping. Likely cooler temperatures have historically drawn thousands to New Orleans' beloved street of dreams during this gala evening.
For a free ride up and down Magazine Street, visitors simply wave down shuttle buses identified with the MSMA banner. No tickets are needed. Service runs from State Street to the New Orleans School of Glassworks & Printmaking at 727 Magazine Street in the Warehouse District. A tour guide will be on board each shuttle to answer riders' questions. "Start at your favorite place on Magazine Street, then hop on and off a shuttle for a great evening with hassle-free parking," suggests MSMA president Diane Lundeen, Petcetera owner.
Additionally, this year sponsoring merchants will sign up visitors for a chance to win MSMA's Holiday Shopping Spree. The winner will be drawn Thanksgiving weekend during Merriment on Magazine.
Over the years, thousands of Art for Art's Sake enthusiasts have enjoyed MSMA's free transportation, courtesy of participating merchants. This year, they might even get lucky!

The Ogden Museum of Southern Art. New Exhibitions
Opening for Art for Arts Sake - October 6, 2007 @ 6pm
Ed McGowin: Name Change (One Artist, Twelve Personas, Thirty Five Years) with Thornton Modestus Dossett
Frustrated by the art world’s prescriptive requirements that artists’ work and careers must follow a linear trajectory, he explored a new theory in order to free himself. To demonstrate this theory McGowin changed his name legally twelve times in the District of Columbia court system. For each name he created works of art and exhibited them at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1972. For the past thirty-five years he continued to create works for the eleven names.
Art and Paradise: Self-Taught Art Selections from the Permanent Collections of Ed McGowin and Claudia DeMonte
It took 25 years and thousands of road miles, mainly backroads of the Southern US, for McGowin and DeMonte to build their collection of self-taught art. Their primary goal was to meet the artists. Collecting was a byproduct and there was never a consistent theme dictating their choices. As DeMonte says, “This group of works is not a survey of Outsider Art but the result of a personal quest to understand art-making.” If anything, the collection demonstrates a common theme within self-taught art – repetition. All of the artists in the exhibition are Southern and include Jimmy Lee Sudduth, who passed away recently at the age of 97, Mary Smith, Howard Finster and Pappy Kitchens. This is New Orleans’ chance to see the collection that has toured Europe, Scandinavia and Japan.
Richard Sexton: Terra Incognita
Recent hurricanes brought America’s third coast more fully into the country’s consciousness. Richard Sexton, along with many Southerners, knows the Gulf Coast intimately. The exhibition, Terra Incognita, will appeal to lovers of fine photography and particularly to those who appreciate landscapes. But most of all, it will be cherished by anyone who spent time running through the dunes or lush forests and tropical landscapes of this beautiful and sometimes stark area. Chronicle Books has just published a fine art photography book, Terra Incognita, with Sexton’s photographs as the central focus of the work, including an essay by Museum Director, J. Richard Gruber, PhD. The book is available in the Museum Store.

Exhibit Features portraits and letters of author Willie Morris
October 6th, 2007--Award--winning photographer David Rae Morris will present “Letters From My Father,” a series of portraits he took of his late father, the noted writer Willie Morris, accompanied by letters that the elder Morris wrote to him. The exhibit opens at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art October 6th and continues through the end of December.
The exhibition was already on the schedule at the Ogden for the Spring of 2006 when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005. Ironically, Morris did have work on display at the Ogden in the spring of 2006 when the museum opened “Do You Know What it Means: The Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina” on November 19th, 2005, ten weeks after landfall. The exhibit featured 46 of Morris’ post-Katrina work and was the first major museum to present a Katrina-related exhibit.
After almost two years of non-stop coverage of the aftermath of the storm, Morris turned his attention back to the portraits of his father. “I’m moving from one emotional mine field to another,” he said. The exhibit includes 30 black and white and four color photographs made between 1977 and 1999. The letters Morris wrote to his son cover the same period of time,
For almost 25 years, the elder Morris wrote his son and poured out his emotions in ways that he found very difficult to do in person. Many of the photographs were taken in the early 1980s after Willie Morris returned to live in Mississippi after almost 30 years in self-imposed exile. “There’s a lot going on in these photographs,” Morris said. “My father had returned home, I was in college and was still trying to determine my direction as a photographer.” An exhibit of portraits made during the early 1980s entitled “Willie in Oxford,” premiered at the Southside Gallery in Oxford, MS in July.
At the same time, his relationship with his father was also undergoing a transformation. “As a young man in my early 20s, I was trying to establish my own independence and I often used the camera as a buffer and as a way of setting new boundaries.” The images range from his father’s walks with his beloved black Lab, Pete, behind William Faulkner’s house, Rowan Oak, to driving in the country, to staying up late with friends at his new house at 16 Faculty Row on the Ole Miss Campus. David Rae Morris continued to photograph his father after he re-married and moved to Jackson, MS in the early 1990s. “Like an parent-child relationship, we had our ups and downs,” Morris said.. “But there was never any doubt that we both loved each other very much.”
Father and son also collaborated on My Mississippi (University Press of Mississippi ,2000) which was completed several weeks before Willlie Morris died in 1999. It contemplates the realities of present day Mississippi through the eyes of two different generations.
Willie Morris was born in 1934 and grew up in Yazoo City, MS. A graduate of the University of Texas and a Rhodes Scholar, Morris moved to New York City where he became the youngest editor of Harper’s Magazine in 1967. He is the author of many books including North Toward Home, Good Old Boy, James Jones: A Friendship, The Courting of Marcus Dupree, Homecomings (With Bill Dunlap), New York Days, and My Dog Skip.
David Rae Morris was born in England in 1959 and grew up in New York City. He has a B.A. From Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, and a M.A. From the University of Minnesota. His photographs have been widely published and exhibited.

CELEBRATING FREEDOM: THE ART OF WILLIE BIRCH
Opening Reception & Capital One’s Art for Arts’ Sake Celebration, Saturday, October 6, 6pm – $10 admission, Free for CAC members.
Willie Birch, who was born and raised in New Orleans, created this monumental series of charcoal drawings, (some as much as twelve-feet long), to pay tribute to his hometown culture. Birch returned to New Orleans in 1994, after living in New York for decades, and moved to within walking distance of the French Quarter. In these vibrant character studies, he reconnects with the everyday street scenes, musical legacy, impromptu parades and vibrant rituals of New Orleans' African-American community. A tour-de-force of draftsmanship, the drawings document traditions and celebrations of African-American life. Birch's subjects include Mardi Gras krewes and parades; festivities for Martin Luther King Day; family gatherings; Sunday church rituals; baptisms; and jazz funerals.
Birch, (who traveled to Nairobi and Kenya on a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1993), is fascinated by the retention of African traditions in the dress, music, dance and rituals that enliven and unite the African-American community. Through his work, he highlights the many ways that the complex history and artistic legacy of African-America has inspired American culture at large, as for example through jazz, soul and hip-hop. He looks equally at populist art forms and "high" art to celebrate the true freedom of cultural expression, which has triumphed over a dark past of slavery and of economic hardship.
Although Birch's earlier funky, folk-inspired sculptures are widely known, these elegant charcoal drawings are newly on view in this exhibition, the first major museum survey of Birch's work.
Birch attended Southern University in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Lousiana, from which he received his B.A. prior to his earning his graduate degree at Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore. Birch has been honored with the Mayor's Arts Award in New Orleans and awarded public-art projects for the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority and Philadelphia International Airport. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts and New York State Council on the Arts, among many others. In 2002, Birch was the artist in residence for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.

Miranda Lake's "The Sawdust Ring"
Opening Art For Art's Sake: Saturday, October 6, 6-10pm
Jonathan Ferrara Gallery
843 Carondelet Street
New Orleans
The Jonathan Ferrara Gallery is proud to announce The Sawdust Ring, a solo exhibition of encaustic photo collage paintings by Miranda Lake. The solo exhibition of encaustic photo collages opens to the public on Saturday October 6, 2007 with an artist reception in conjunction with Capitol One's Art For Arts' Sake, the annual opening celebration of the art season in New Orleans.
The exhibition showcases Lake's unique process of encaustic photo collage. Using vintage photographs and other imagery from her unique living environment, Lake produces cyanotype and Van Dyke prints that are layered within multiple coats of encaustic. The resulting collage has a dream-like quality where imagery floats amongst the colored layers of encaustic.
"The Sawdust Ring, refers to the ring under the big top where all the action takes place. For me, these works represent a glimpse into my own personal sawdust ring, where I am inspired to live, work and play. Environment has such an integral role in the creative process for me. I've been told before that my house has a very similar ambience to my work in regards to color and content. I have a somewhat unusual collection of found objects and personal effects that invite closer inspection. For me, they are like old friends that have their own unique spirit and personality. To use some of these pieces as "characters" along with images found on the Internet seemed to be a natural progression for my work. -Miranda Lake
In addition to the painted works in the gallery, Lake is creating a site-specific installation on the street in front of the gallery to further engage the viewing public in her carnivale atmosphere. Entitled Baby Pool Drive In, the installation features a theater environment created from inflatable baby pools filled with water, floats and lawn chairs on top of astro-turf grass where random You Tube videos will be projected on the building exterior. With a popcorn and cotton candy machine and palm trees lining the aisles, this is sure to be a memorable artistic creation.
Miranda Lake has had solo exhibitions in Charlotte, Chicago, Atlanta, Oxford, MS and New Orleans. She has been featured in numerous group exhibitions including the No Dead Artists Annual Juried Exhibition, the AAF Juried Contemporary Art Fair in NYC and the prestigious New Orleans Museum of Art Triennial, the oldest juried exhibition in the country, and at Andersen Ranch where she has been an instructor. Miranda Lake is represented by Jonathan Ferrara Gallery New Orleans.

Trinity Artist Series Every Sunday Sundays at 5:00 pm Free
Tom Sancton (a.k.a. Tommy), author of last year’s acclaimed memoir Song for My Fathers: A New Orleans Story in Black and White will bring his jazz trio to Trinity Church on Sunday, Oct. 7, for a program entitled “Sing On! Hymns, Spirituals (and More), New Orleans Style.” Sancton, a New Orleans native and former Rhodes Scholar, was for 22 years a writer, editor, and foreign correspondent for Time Magazine, serving most recently as Paris Bureau Chief. While based in Paris, he co-authored the international bestseller Death of a Princess: The Investigation (1998).
Sancton has just returned to New Orleans after a long residence in France, accompanied by his wife Sylvaine, a sculptor, in order to take up a teaching position at Tulane University as the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities. During the one-year appointment, he will be teaching creative writing.
He is also a well-known jazz clarinetist and a former student of the late, great George Lewis—an apprenticeship he lovingly chronicled in Song for My Fathers. Featured on more than a dozen CD’s, Tommy Sancton has toured widely in Europe and the U.S., and has appeared at jazz festivals from France, Holland, Switzerland and Germany, to New York, Sacramento and New Orleans. He also appeared alongside Woody Allen in the 1998 film Wild Man Blues.
Since his return to New Orleans, Sancton has played regularly with his own band, the New Orleans Serenaders, at such legendary jazz venues as Preservation Hall and the Palm Court, and is scheduled to play at Snug Harbor this fall.
Appearing with Sancton at his Trinity Church concert will be guitarist/ banjoist Seva Venet, and bassist Tom Saunders.

The Hotel Monteleone Announces Author/Artist William Dunlap as October 8th Literary Luncheon Speaker Julia Reed to Introduce and Moderate the Literary Luncheon
The Hotel Monteleone, in partnership with the New Orleans Public Library, is pleased to announce the October Literary Luncheon featuring prominent author and artist, William Dunlap. The noon luncheon, scheduled for Monday, October 8, will be introduced and moderated by New Orleans favorite, Julia Reed.
During a career that has spanned more than three decades, William Dunlap has distinguished himself as an artist, arts commentator, educator and inspired lecturer. When art reviewers have attempted to pin him down, Mississippi-born artist William Dunlap has called what he does "hypothetical realism." "These places and situations don't exist, but they could," he says.
As the book DUNLAP demonstrates, the artist and his work resist classification. Dunlap creates surreal, disturbing, and sometimes humorous interpretations of the American landscape in paintings, sculptures, constructions, and mixed-media installations. Mr. Dunlap will discuss his recent book as well as give an understanding of how to look at, think about and appreciate all art forms.
Author of Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomena, in her classic Dixie storytelling fashion, with a rare blend of literary elegance and plainspoken humor, the inimitably charming, staunchly Southern Julia Reed wends her way below the Mason-Dixon line and observes many phenomena– from politics, religion, and women to weather, guns, and what she calls “drinking and other Southern pursuits.” To hear Reed tell it, the South is another country.
Registration is $30 per person and includes the 3-course luncheon and book signing. Books will be available for sale by Garden District Book Shop. Proceeds from the luncheon go directly to the New Orleans Public Library’s recovery efforts to rebuild and expand our public libraries. For reservations, please call (504) 681.4452.

CULINARY EXHIBITION EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND
WHAT’S COOKING IN NEW ORLEANS?: CULINARY TRADITIONS OF THE CRESCENT CITY TO REMAIN ON VIEW THROUGH NOVEMBER 17, 2007
The Historic New Orleans Collection will extend its current exhibition, What’s Cooking in New Orleans?: Culinary Traditions of the Crescent City, through Saturday, November 17. On display in the Williams Gallery at 533 Royal Street, the show is free and open to the public Tuesday–Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
In addition to extending the exhibition, The Collection is also preparing a fall culinary lecture series that will offer more opportunities for the city’s residents and guests to engage in that most-relished pastime: talking about food. The series is expected to begin mid-September and will feature presenters such as Judy Walker, food editor of the Times-Picayune. Visit The
Collection online at www.hnoc.org for updates to the fall schedule. &nb sp;
The interactive exhibition, which has been viewed by thousands of patrons, is only one of the ways THNOC has been championing local efforts to preserve Creole cooking practices.
What’s Cooking in New Orleans? builds upon The Collection’s nationally acclaimed 2005 project “A Dollop of History in Every Bite,” which involved hundreds of area school children exploring local culinary traditions. In April 2007, Dollop was expanded to include more than 1,500 students in Jefferson and Orleans Parishes and to focus participants’ efforts on culinary preservation.
“Our culinary practices are an aspect of Louisiana’s history that is lived and enjoyed daily,” said John Lawrence, director of museum programs. “They are rooted in tradition and constantly changing.”
What’s Cooking in New Orleans? serves as an appetizer to understanding the cuisine that defines the city. With an eclectic display of cookbooks, menus, photographs, and other objects spanning the 18th through mid-20th centuries, the display introduces patrons to the cultural, economic, and social factors that shaped New Orleans cuisine, primarily Creole cuisine.
“What’s Cooking in New Orleans? explores the relationships between food and the city’s dynamic, ever-changing lifestyle,” said Lawrence. “The effects New Orleans has had on its food, and food has had on New Orleans are truly unique.”
To further entice visitors, What’s Cooking in New Orleans? offers video clips, podcasts, and an on-site recipe exchange.
