The New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts joins with Asheville-based ArtsvilleUSA and River Arts District Artists to produce and showcase A Tale of Two Cities, an exhibition exploring the role of art in the wake of environmental disaster.
Opening on September 13, 2025—a date strategically situated between the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the first anniversary of Hurricane Helene—A Tale of Two Cities commemorates the shared experiences and lessons of New Orleans and Asheville as they navigate the aftermath of climate-related disaster. Through this exhibition, artists will create a dialogue between the two cities, exploring themes of rebirth and the power of art to foster hope and recovery.
Join us for the opening reception of this meaningful exhibition at 5256 Magazine Street from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
