ARTS MARKET DOWNTOWN PRESENTED BY THE DDD
Arts Council New Orleans introduces an intimate outdoor market featuring fine art and crafts, food truck favorites, and local musicians from 4-9 pm during select First Saturday Art Walks at the intersection of Julia and Carondelet Streets.
"It is fitting that such a program should come to Downtown NOLA and we are excited to partner with the Arts Council on this project," said DDD President & CEO Kurt Weigle. "Downtown NOLA offers artists more inspiration than most any other city in America, in addition to many other desired amenities. And, through special initiatives and investments, the DDD is working every day to build and support a creative economy in Downtown NOLA."

For the last four years,
The National World War II Museum has partnered with the

Drafts for Crafts helped fund the final push in the decade-long restoration of
PT-305, The National WWII Museum's WWII combat-veteran patrol-torpedo boat. In 2017, the party is relocating to the shores of Lake Pontchartrain for an official relaunch celebration. Proceeds from this year's Drafts for Crafts will support the boat's first year on the water.

The Inaugural New Orleans Edwardian Ball
Saturday, March 25 at Generations Hall
PARADOX Media and Vau de Vire Society, in partnership with LadyBEAST Productions, announce the Inaugural New Orleans Edwardian Ball, Saturday, March 25 at Generations Hall in Downtown NOLA. The first-ever New Orleans Edwardian Ball, described by the SFWeekly as, "Think vintage fetish meets circus theatrics meets industrial arts mayhem," blends live music, theatre, fashion and cosplay, circus, fine art, riveting stage shows, black comedy, science fiction, literature, ballroom dancing, and DJs into an enticing whirlwind extravaganza set in a romanticized, gilded and gentile Neo-Victorian and Edwardian-era gothic and steampunk-tinged distant past which intertwines with an elegantly re-imagined future.

Register Your Security Camera with NOPD to Help Fight Crime
If you own a security camera in New Orleans, you can now register it with NOPD to help detectives solve crimes in your neighborhood and provide strong evidence to put offenders away.
The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation, in partnership with the NOPD, launched a new online service called Safecam NOLA. The program allows residents and business owners to register their security cameras with New Orleans Police. The SafecamNOLA project is an expansion of "Safecam8," which was an on-line program that Downtown residents and business owners in the Eighth Police District have been using for years to register their cameras with Eighth District police. The 1,302 8th District cameras that are in that system are now included in the citywide SafecamNOLA system.
Please visit www.SafecamNOLA.com to enroll today.
