Kimpton Hotel Fontenot will host New Orleans visual artist Jay McKay for his art installation, F#ↃK I SPILT MY PAINT, during White Linen Night on Saturday, August 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. The event is free to attend and open to the public.
 
The evening begins in King, the hotel’s newly opened French brasserie and bar, where White Linen guests will head inside the restaurant, stop in for a drink at the bar, and make their way to the hotel’s cocktail lounge, Peacock Room, for the full installation featuring Jay’s artwork and the tunes of DJ Spinelli.
 
Specialty cocktails will be available at both Peacock Room and King. And of course, Peacock Room favorites will also be served up, including All Ships Rise with Pineapple Rum, Aveze, house-made Habanero. King’s lineup of delicious beverages also features drinks like the Cote d’Azur with La Favorite Agricole Rhum, Giffard Abricot Lemon, and Orgeat.
 
For White Linen Night guests looking to sit down for a meal with their night out, King brasserie & bar will have a full menu available. Executive Chef Samuel Peery’s menu rooted in the beloved brasseries of the French Riviera region while weaving in the flavors and traditions of New Orleans features many memorable dishes. Among the favorites are the Crawfish Beignets with crab fat aioli, the Grilled Octopus with a vadouvan and sweet potato curry and lardons of Benton’s bacon to give it a smoky finish, and the King Carbonara with a sauce made from sea urchin, reduced cream and parmesan. And don’t forget the King Bread Service.
 
But reservations are recommended for anyone looking to sit and dine while at the event. Otherwise, space will be available on a first come, first served basis.
 
WHEN: Saturday, August 5, 2023 | 6-9pm
WHERE: King & Peacock Room at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot
501 & 521 Tchoupitoulas St., New Orleans, LA 70130

Ace Hotel NOLA has announced the return of its long-running Artist in Residence (AIR) program. Through AIR, which has hosted over 350 artists in the past decade, artists are provided a month-long hotel stay, during which they create and then exhibit works on a quarterly basis. 

Ace New Orleans is rolling out AIR 2023/2024 in tandem with 8 other Ace properties globally, kicking off with François Boudreaux, who will host his exhibit opening onsite August 5, 6-9pm. Sultana Isham, Chef Jasmine Robinson, and Donaka Autry will also participate in residencies over the next year. These artists were selected in collaboration with the locally based curatorial partner Material Institute, a nonprofit arts center in the 9th Ward providing resources to a new generation of artists across music, fashion, and community gardening.
