Art Home New Orleans (1) Enriches the New Orleans cultural experience of visitors and residents and broadens their understanding of the city\'s rich cultural legacy and new artistic offerings, encouraging repeat visits; (2) showcases the work of New Orleans based artists of all disciplines in visual, design, media, performing and culinary arts; and (3) helps demystify the \"art\" of collecting, encouraging the collection of the art works of area artists.
