Program Complete

In New Orleans, you can never get too much of a good thing. Michael deMeng and Valley Ridge are cooking up a brand new New Orleans ArtVenture for 2012.

Tropical in climate, lush in setting, exotic in architecture and sensual in atmosphere, New Orleans is a worldly, richly creative environment like no other. It's no wonder that the city has been -- and continues to be -- a favorite muse for an incredible legacy of artists, artisans, performers, musicians, writers and chefs.

The 2012 New Orleans ArtVenture is three days of workshop and two days of tours to unusual places. There will be plenty of time to explore on your own, as well as time to leisurely savor the unique food and drink found only in this historic city on the Delta.
