The New Orleans Museum of Art celebrates 100 years with a marathon 31-hour anniversary bash. It takes place Friday, December 16 through Saturday, December 17.
The first Running of the Santas will inundate the Warehouse District on Saturday, while across town in Metairie, on Sunday, a live radio play of the holiday classic It's A Wonderful Life transports audiences back in time. We go Inside the Arts for a sneak peek at both events.
