Tonight Sept. 3: Social at El Cucuy, 6-8 p.m.
Join us first Tuesdays of each month from 6-8 p.m. at El Cucuy, (3507 Tchoupitoulas, map). Meet new and longtime krewe members, talk with krewe captains and leaders, mix and mingle and swap ideas, and just hang out with the krewe of medieval cool while enjoying Mexican food and drink! Note: This is a pay-as-you-go event. We just choose the location and reserve a spot and might bring some cool show and tell items, but your eating and drinking choices are entirely up to you!
Joan of Art opening at Ariodante Gallery
Artists created, our judge panel selected, and now it’s your turn to see this year’s Joan of Art contest submissions, meet the artists, find out who won, and vote for the Audience Choice award all at the opening reception. The Julia Street galleries will be buzzing as part of the regular First Saturdays art walk. Thanks to Ariodante Gallery for their ongoing partnership now in our fifth year of the Joan of Art juried exhibit program. Krewe members are encouraged to wear krewe colors royal blue and gold for the event. The 2024 selected artwork will be revealed at the gallery opening, but you can view the 2023 selections here.
Friday Sept. 13 Throws Workshop, 6-9 p.m.
This workshop will be focused on getting things ready to launch our throw sales at the Salon. Come craft with us at the home of krewe captain Amanda Helm at 7330 Sycamore St. All skill levels are welcome and all supplies will be provided. These are a great way to connect with other krewe members, get your questions answered, show off your own krewe projects, and bounce ideas. A full season of throws and props workshops has been posted on our calendar!
