French Quarter Bohemia, 1926
One hundred years ago, the French Quarter stood at the crossroads of a literary, artistic, and preservation renaissance. Join HNOC for an afternoon of exploration into the people, places, trends, and teeming social scene of early 20th-century French Quarter bohemia.
Presentations will cover the 100th anniversary of Sherwood Anderson and Other Famous Creoles: A Gallery of Contemporary New Orleans by William Spratling and William Faulkner, the artistic influence of the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans, and the legacy of preservationists such as William Ratcliffe Irby, owner of HNOC’s 520 Royal Street in 1926 and the person responsible for installing its famed Aeolian pipe organ.
Lectures are free and open to the public. The day will conclude with a ticketed 1920s-themed reception featuring refreshments, an open wine-and-champagne bar, and live music.
Registration opens July 27 for HNOC members and August 3 for the general public.
