The 4th Annual ArtiGras Carnival

A CELEBRATION AND FUNDRAISER FOR THE ARTS

Friday, February 9, 2024

The 4th Annual ArtiGras Carnival, a celebration & fundraiser for the Arts, paraded into town on Friday, February 9th. This year the Mardi Gras-themed festivities started at The Artisans Village Livery Studio with a mirrored dancer, living table, living statue & sculptures, signature cocktails, passed appetizers, fire twirling, artist demonstrations, and much more. Then in true New Orleans fashion, the party paraded over to Barrel 118 for the main event.

ArtiGras provides an opportunity to bring the community together to showcase the local talent, increase awareness of the many facets of The Artisans Village, and raise funds for continued program expansion. Through this enchanted evening filled with live music, artist demonstrations, performing arts, and so much more, the goal was to show the many ways The Artisans Village BRINGS ART TO LIFE not just for this one amazing event, but all year long.
