The Ogden Family Fair is a FREE event this Saturday, August 23 from 10 AM - 2 PM. The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is located at 925 Camp St., NOLA 70130.

“Family Fair is a time when families can come together and have a meaningful experience, while spending time in a dynamic, visually rich environment,” stated Education Coordinator Ellen Balkin. “Hands-on, age-appropriate activities encourage children to explore works of art on their own, while the country-fair theme appeals to even the youngest museum-goer.”
 
“We place a great value on inviting the community into the Museum, free of charge, in order to increase access to the most comprehensive collection of Southern art in the world,” said Director William Andrews. The Family Fair is an excellent opportunity for folks of all ages to experience the Ogden Museum and discover all that we have to offer.”
