Discover My Top 5 Pop-Up Art Markets in New Orleans!

Inspired by a chance meeting on Friday with local artist and new friend Dago (check out his instagram here), I'd love to share some of my favorite spots for Pop-up Art Markets here in New Orleans!

If you're looking to dive into the vibrant local art scene, you’re in for a treat. New Orleans is known for its thriving arts and culture, and with so many talented artists in the area, pop-up art markets are becoming more popular than ever. I’ve gathered a list of the top five must-visit art markets where you can explore and support local talent.

Here’s where you’ll find unique art pieces, one-of-a-kind gifts, and plenty of inspiration:

1. Arts Market at Marsalis Harmony Park
    South Carrollton Ave & S Claiborne Ave
   Held on the last Saturday of each month, Marsalis Harmony Park brings together artists and makers with a vast array of handmade jewelry, paintings, and crafts. You’ll also enjoy live music and great food trucks!

2. Arts Market New Orleans in City Park
    Goldring/Woldenberg Great Lawn in City Park
   Taking place the second Saturday of every month, this market is a beautiful outdoor event that highlights local artists and their creations in a relaxed, scenic setting.

3. Frenchmen Art Bazaar
    619 Frenchmen Street
   Open daily from 7pm-midnight, the Frenchmen Art Bazaar offers an incredible variety of art from paintings to sculpture to textiles and jewelry. Grab a cocktail from any of Frenchmen Street's famed bars and stroll by the Frenchmen Art Bazaar any day of the week.

4. Freret Street Market
    Freret St & Napoleon Ave
   An energetic mix of art, music, and food, this market pops up on Freret Street multiple times throughout the year. It’s a perfect spot to find unique New Orleans-inspired art and support local businesses. Catch the next market on Saturday, November 2nd from 11am-4pm!

5. Piety Market at Hotel Peter & Paul
    Hotel Peter & Paul, 2317 Burgundy St
   Every third Sunday of the month from 12pm-5pm, Piety Market pops up in one of the most impressive venues in town–the great hall at Hotel Peter & Paul in the Marigny. Known for its laid-back vibe and quirky art, it’s a local favorite for finding original pieces and supporting small businesses.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just love browsing and being part of the community, these markets are a fantastic way to get immersed in the local culture.
