Start things off with dinner at Salu’ on Magazine Street.

Saturday Fun!
It's DRAW-A-THON 2012 - 24 Hours of Drawing Fun! The drawing begins Saturday at 6:30 am and continues on through Sunday at 6:30 am at The Marginy Opera House (725 St.Ferdinand Street). Draw-a-thon is probably the only event of its kind in the city of New Orleans—a FREE, all ages marathon drawing experience with all art materials provided. The 24 hour event is punctuated by two hour drawing workshops developed by local artists and arts educators designed to encourage the participant to fully experience and study the art of drawing. The event’s environment is constantly changing, illuminated by what is being taught and drawn.
There will be on-going activities as well as structured events. You can choose your own adventure within the effervescent creative experience by hopping between workshops lead by local artists such as Kenny Harrison, Courtney Eagan, James Goedert, Natalie McLaurin, Caesar Meadows, Gary Oaks, Brad Benischek, Bob Snead and many others. On-going activities include the infamous Amazing Draw-a-tron 3000, Get Well Cards for Hubig Pies, Whimsy Post, Draw Your Fortune, Dream Drawings, Drawing Receptacles and much more!

Saturday Evening Art!
Saturday evening check out some amazing art at local galleries around town. These two are going to be especially wonderful!
Sibley Gallery (3427 Magazine) - Memes amd Mirrors of Mind and Memories - 6:00 to 9:00 pm - Jimmy Block makes use of form and shape, light and shadow, in constructing pieces which reflect recurring memories and cultural and artistic ideas influenced by geometry and mechanical structures. The two dimensional plane is expanded using negative (dark) space and luminosity invoked by means of positive (light) space. Reflections and refractions of light from the materials utilized complement and complete the piece and invite the viewer to multiply the themes and memories from his own experience and imagination.
