Stay Home
Local artist Josh Wingerter created an outdoor gallery this week on Frenchmen Street as he painted images of New Orleans icons, tributes to health care workers, and other COVID-themed works of art on the plywood covering the windows and doors of shuttered bars, retail businesses and music clubs on the popular strip in the Faubourg Marigny.
As we move into our “new normal” for the next few weeks, we’re going to highlight some of the best virtual happenings! Here’s what we’re looking forward to this week.
Thanks to WWOZ-FM, we’re having a great time Festing in Place, but part of the Jazz Fest experience is the food. No worries, we’ve got you covered!
Before you know it, Mother’s Day will be here. Whether it’s your mother, grandmother, godmother or best friend, we’ve put together a list of gifts to let the lady in your life know she’s special.
You won’t have to beat the crowds at the gate, your porch is already your own little spot at the stage and a few things to make your home feel a little more “fest”-ive.
If you’re feeling cooped up, maximize the window and be “outside” with us.
Instead of simply twiddling our collective thumbs through March and April, the silver lining of social distancing is you now have an opportunity to try some new projects and practice new skills.
When the COVID-19 pandemic caused a shutdown of non-essential businesses and only allowed restaurants to offer takeout and/or delivery service, owners Billy Jones and Richard Horner knew that they would have to adapt to keep their business afloat.
We know it seems like we’re home “doing nothing,” but if you search around, your virtual calendar can get packed really quickly!
Don’t put those festival chairs and flags up just yet! WWOZ-FM is presenting “Festing In Place: An On-Air Festival” — a virtual Jazz Fest of sorts.
