2026 Creative Capital Seminar — February 2026.
Registration now open
Welcome to CACNO Summer! The CACNO presents a special FREE event going into Summer with a celebration of the Punk music community of New Orleans! The performance entitled, The Great Refusal, takes its title from an ideology popularized by Herbert Marcuse, that rejects oppressive societal structures that asks individuals to step outside violent systems that support oppression of others, and demands we reclaim independent thought that allows humanity to diversify and prosper.
Featuring the bands, THOU and DAYS OF GRIEF, the CAC introduces our 'St. Joe's" series of performances, events and collaborations in our Warehouse space. July 2, 2026, 6pm Doors, Party 7pm with award shut off at 9pm!
To learn from the past is one of the surest ways to shape a more generous future for art, artists, and audiences. With care, curiosity, and support in its many forms, the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans can continue to grow as a place of learning, a welcoming home for artists of all backgrounds, and a site of discovery and delight for its community. To work with, play within, or invest in the CACNO, is to ensure that this organization will be one filled with possibility, imagination, and shared purpose. Come join us!
Foster the Future with Us!
