Inside The Arts: Parades Usher In 2015 Carnival Season, New Works In NOMA's Sculpture Garden

Kim Welsh

 This week on Inside the Arts, the first parades of 2015 are ready to roll!

A medieval-themed procession gears up to march in the French Quarter. The Joan of Arc Parade rolls on 12th Night, celebrating the 603rd birthday of the Maid of Orléans, France.

Then, the Phunny Phorty Phellows have their sights set on Carnival, as they prepare for their traditional ride on the historic St. Charles Avenue streetcar line this Twelfth Night.
 
And, we round out with the addition of two new pieces of art in NOMA's Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden.
 
Airs Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 8:45 a.m.
