The NOCCA Institute gratefully acknowledges all our sponsors, patrons and guests of this year’s Art & Soul Gala, with special thanks to Leslie & Hal Stokes, Pam & Ralph Lupin and Donna & Russell Klein, who co-chaired the event, and to Alden & Emeril Lagasse, our honorary co-chairs. The patron party featured culinary delights from Chef David Slater of Emeril’s, Chef Justin Devillier of La Petite Grocery, and Chef Alon Shaya of Domenica Restaurant. The gala featured performances by Hot Club of New Orleans, NOLA Nova, NOCCA Alumni All-Stars and NOCCA students. Raising nearly $200,000 for the Institute, it was a celebration to remember!
