This week on Inside the Arts... a new sculpture garden honoring the works of a local art  icon opens in City Park. The Helis Foundation Enrique Alferez Sculpture Garden will open in the New Orleans Botanical Garden. We talk with City Park's Paul Soniat and Jessie Haynes with the Helis Foundation.

 
Then, the experimental theater festival known as Fringe Fest becomes Faux Real Arts Festival. We explore an envelope pushing performance.
 
And, we round out with Sonata for Four Hands. Politics, music and strong emotions cross in this world premiere by Generate Ink and Second Star Performance Collective.
