Louisiana residents can beat the heat throughout July as The Helis Foundation continues its “Art & AC” event. Throughout the month of July, Louisiana residents gain free admission on Sundays to both New Orleans Museum of Art and Ogden Museum of Southern Art when the institutions are open. More than 10,000 Louisiana residents have enjoyed free admission to local art and cultural institutions as part of Art & AC over the years.
