(New Orleans, LA) – Ogden Museum of Southern Art is proud to participate in Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a nationwide initiative led by Craft in America to honor the handmade during America’s Semi-quincentennial. Through Ogden Musuem’s Craft Happy Hour Program, we join museums, artists and organizations nationwide in celebrating the craft traditions that connect us through history and time.
Craft Happy Hour is a monthly gathering hosted by Ogden Museum in which a professional craftsperson guides attendees through a project, teaching a new skill in an informal and fun atmosphere. Programs are geared so that each participant leaves with a completed project. Projects have ranged from floral wearables, to ceramic bells, to macramé.
Upcoming 2026 Spring Craft Happy Hours:
