Light Up NOLA Arts Fete to illuminate downtown Dec 6-9
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Lights will turn a Greek Revival building in New Orleans into a canvas for animations highlighting celebrations in New Orleans and Mexico. Digital sculptures and video-mapping projections on Lafayette Square and a nearby street also will be part of the city's fourth Light Up NOLA Arts Fete, or LUNA Fete for short. The four-day festival that starts Wednesday and also kicks off New Orleans' tricentennial.
The fifth LUNA Fete will come at the tricentennial's end. The festival was conceived as a five-year series ending next year, but the Arts Council New Orleans — a nonprofit organization and the city's official arts agency — is now thinking longer.
