Celebrate the arrival of springtime with a stroll through the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden during the New Orleans Museum of Art’s first-ever Iris Viewing Festival on Saturday, April 4. Hundreds of new blooms planted around the lagoon this winter will reveal themselves in time for the celebration, which also will feature live music, educational demonstrations and a one-day-only contemporary art installation, Birds in the Park, by Christy Hengst of Santa Fe, N.M.
“We’re honoring a history of iris planting around this same lagoon that dates back 75 years,” said Sculpture Garden Manager Pamela Buckman. “Long before the Sculpture Garden existed this lagoon was the site of an annual iris planting that honored poet and newspaper publisher Pearl Rivers. With the help of the Louisiana Iris Society, we are now able to revive that tradition.”
Rivers was publisher of The Daily Picayune, a precursor to The Times-Picayune. She became legendary in the newspaper business for intr... Url:http://www.noma.org/
