July 4, 2008 First Friday Trolley Hop

Some of the galleries will be closed for this month's Hop, but there is still a lot going on!

If you happen to be down at Waterfront Park waiting for the fireworks to begin, walk over a couple of blocks to Main and Market Streets to check out downtown's Art Zone.

The trolleys will run on the holiday schedule. However, you may park on most parts of Main and Market Streets near the Trolley Hop locations.

Signs of Life: Subcultures of New Orleans Post-Katrina
New Photographs by Charles Silver
July 4 - August 9, 2008
Opening Reception: Fri., July 11, 6 – 8 p.m. Three years after Hurricane Katrina, large parts of New Orleans and its communities remain physically and psychologically devastated.Photographer Charles Silver has been dividing his time between Louisville and New Orleans recently, trying to document the lingering effects of the natural and man-made disaster of Katrina by photographing the people who live there and their traditions, especially endangered African American cultural traditions unique to New Orleans. The community that gave birth to Jazz also gave birth to a range of unique cultural traditions that include brass bands, their accompanying “Second Lines” of parading celebrants, Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs, and the Black Mardi Gras Indian tribes.
