Experience wellness at NOMA with beginner-friendly, outdoor tai chi classes in the serene Besthoff Sculpture Garden. The first 30 minutes of class focus on simple celestial elemental Qigong forms, a gentle and accessible style of movement suitable for anyone.

Tai chi participants meet at the garden entrance on the corner of Collins Diboll Circle and Enrique Alferez Drive, across the street from Café NOMA. Please bring a digital or printed version of your ticket to class.

Kolaj Fest New Orleans—a multi-day festival and symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society—heads to the museum for a day full of conversations, tours, and more. The event brings together collage artists and art professionals to elevate the status of collage through panel discussions, exhibitions, and activities. Attendees will meet, network, and share community, camaraderie, and fellowship, all while developing new ideas for artmaking, writing, and curatorial projects. LEARN MORE ABOUT KOLAJ FEST This event is free with museum admission. Museum visitors are invited to join in on the day’s programs.  ScheduleCheck in and Kolaj Fest Info Table in Great Hall + Open collage in the Lapis Center for the Arts 10 AM to 1 PM  Daily Collage Congress: Welcome to Kolaj Fest New Orleans10:30 to 11:15 AM | Lapis Center for the ArtsKolaj Institute Director Ric Kasini Kadour will officially open Kolaj Fest New Orleans at this opening event. Guests will hear from a number of artists about projects, activities, and exhibitions taking place during the festival. The event also features the “New Orleans-Magic and Protection” fashion show by Massachusetts artist Nikola Janevski, where he will debut a collection of collage jackets made in collaboration with New Orleans artists during his Solo Residency at Kolaj Institute. Presentation: “We Are All Collaborators In Someone Else’s Journey: Robert Rauschenberg & Process” by Carolyn Oliver & Robin Sanford Roberts11:15 am to 11:45 AMDuring this presentation, Carolyn E. Oliver (Carlsbad, California) and Robin Sanford Roberts (San Diego, California) will present an overview of Rauschenberg’s life, work, and process. Oliver will share her experience with fashion designer Jason Wu, whose 2026 Spring/Summer Fashion Show at the Brooklyn Navy Yard paid homage to Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg’s transfer works were printed on large acrylic panels as the models wove in and out. Oliver wrote, “Wu’s art of layering and deconstructing fabrics offered the viewers a visual enchantment of distortion and fragmented beauty.” Rauschenberg’s art and Wu’s fashion created a “double document” of global interest. Set designer and professor Robin Sanford Roberts will share views of her theatrical set designs inspired by Rauschenberg.  “Divas, Blues, & Memories” by Artist Beau McCall and Curator Souleo12:00 to 12:30 PMIn early 2026, Hammonds House Museum in Atlanta, Georgia presented the exhibition, “Beau McCall: Divas, Blues, and Memories,” curated by New York, New York curator Souleo.“Diva Worship” features portraits of both famous and underrepresented divas–of all gender identities–whose music inspired, empowered, and captivated McCall, particularly during his coming-of-age in the 1970s LGBTQ+ community. Throughout history and within various cultures, divas have been “worshipped” or admired for their talent, personality, and achievements, especially by marginalized communities who identify with the diva’s own struggles against systemic prejudice and discrimination. Thus, McCall’s collages laud these divas whose music and personas reflect the ability to challenge, and sometimes even triumph over, oppressive forces, and offer a space for escapism, reflection, and aspiration.The collages in McCall’s “REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT” series spotlight music’s ability to forge bonds and serve as a “soundtrack” for our lives, conjuring memories. The collages feature some of McCall’s deceased friends from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, from Philadelphia to New York, during the LGBTQ+ rights movement, the height of disco music, and the AIDS crisis. Within these friendships, music was a galvanizing force, whether they attended concerts, partied at the disco, shared playlists, impersonated their favorite divas, or pursued their own musical dreams of stardom. Thus, McCall invites viewers to celebrate music as a uniting force and keeper of memories.In this session, McCall and Souleo will present the exhibition, focusing on how collage—and McCall’s use of clothing buttons—illuminates themes of identity and preserves memory.Gallery Talk: Robert Gordy: Outside the Mainstream12:30 to 1:00 PMGallery talk hosted by Lisa Rotondo-McCord, Deputy Director of NOMA, on Robert Gordy: Beyond the Mainstream in connection with Beau McCall lecture. Hosted in Templeman Galleries on the second floor.  About Kolaj Fest 2026Kolaj Fest returns to New Orleans on 10-14 June 2026. Kolaj Fest New Orleans is a multi-day festival and symposium.
