Ever wonder what Handel’s opera and a New Orleans art gallery have in common? Right here on Julia Street sits Ariodante, a gallery named after that very opera. Ariodante opened its doors in 1990, becoming a vibrant part of the New Orleans Arts District. Originally focused on unique crafts, Ariodante expanded in 2001 to include fine arts. Today, Ariodante showcases a diverse collection. You’ll find glass, jewelry, furniture, ceramics, and sculpture. Photography, printmaking, and paintings also grace the walls. Ariodante features predominantly local and Gulf Coast artists, both established and emerging. The gallery constantly evolves, so you’ll always discover something new. Ariodante truly bridges the gap between traditional crafts and contemporary art. It’s a celebration of creativity and a must-see in the New Orleans art scene.
