Amidst constantly evolving trends and artistic innovations, one thing remains the same: the past is never gone. People of the Gulf South have always found ways to reuse and adapt older objects to fit new purposes. From columned Greek Revival mansions to clothing, each new generation has recycled and revised historic aesthetics to suit its own time. The 2024 New Orleans Antiques Forum will address the reasons objects are given second lives—cultural heritage, economic necessity, sustainability—as well as the skills required for adaptive reuse—craft techniques and creative repair methods.
Single-day registration is available for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday—or attendees can register for the full forum for a discounted price. A champagne reception is included for all attendees. Tickets for optional activities must be purchased separately. Add all three days to your cart to receive the full-forum discount.
The optional preconference activity, The Evolving French Quarter, is SOLD OUT.
