Abstract Nola (ANO) was established in February 2016 by the creative power couple, Antarah Leilani and Kenneth 'Kulture' Spears. With a shared vision, they embarked on a mission to showcase the extraordinary talent that thrived within the vibrant city of New Orleans. Their goal was not only to provide a stage for artists and entrepreneurs to display their skills and sell their products but also to foster a sense of community and appreciation for the arts. This led to the birth of the Art Party, an extraordinary bi-weekly event that mesmerized attendees with live performances and captivating visual art. Complementing the artistic experience were delectable, free passed hors d'oeuvres and vendors offering their unique creations.
As ANO entered its second year, it expanded its reach by initiating two remarkable endeavors - Arts in The Park and the monthly Outdoor Concert + Market Series. These additions transformed ANO into an even more dynamic platform, celebrating the diverse forms of artistic expression against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The enchanting fusion of sound, sight, and the vibrant atmosphere invigorated the local artistic community, as well as inspired visitors from near and far.
In 2017, ANO ventured into the realm of private events and brand activations. This extension allowed ANO to curate exclusive experiences tailored to the individual needs and desires of clients. From intimate gatherings to large-scale brand campaigns, ANO's expertise in event production and creativity shone through in every meticulously executed detail.
ANO has flourished into a thriving hub, acting as an incubator for talented individuals within the city. Over the years, ANO has proudly organized and executed more than 150 events, collaborating with over 175 exceptional artists and entrepreneurs. The impact and influence of ANO on the artistic landscape of New Orleans are unquestionable, a testament to the dedication and passion of its founders and team. As ANO continues to evolve, it remains committed to fostering the growth of emerging talents, promoting creativity, and enchanting audiences with immersive experiences that embody the true spirit of the city.
