In Conversation with Howard Philips Smith: The Life and Art of George Dureau

Join us for a special discussion about New Orleans contemporary artist George Dureau from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on May 28. Author Howard Philips Smith will explore the life and work of the artist through the lens of his new book, “George Valentine Dureau: Life and Art in New Orleans,” made possible by HNOC’s acquisition of the artist’s archives following his death in 2014. HNOC outreach historian Robert Ticknor will facilitate the conversation, with an introduction by HNOC President and CEO Daniel Hammer, who wrote the foreword for Smith’s book.

Admission is free with registration required (space is limited). Learn more and register for the talk: https://hnoc.org/events/the-life-and-art-of-george-dureau
