Lonely Planet review

A good place to seek out original works of art at reasonable prices. The number of local artists on hand ranges from 50 to 120, with some of the city's finest artists setting up shop next to unheralded folk artists. Rest assured, the artists are juried in, so none of the works offered here are by your Uncle Rufus' dog Elroy. No prints are sold.

By bringing artists and collectors together on a regular basis the market has contributed to the growing buzz around New Orleans' arts scene. As a result, some previously unsung artists have gained well deserved recognition and an obvious boost in sales. For customers (free admission) the market is a great opportunity to score quality decor for your apartment, add value to your collection, or just to tap into the creative veins of the city and meet interesting people. Musicians and food vendors add a festive air.
