NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Now in its 15th year, Culture Collision returns on Wednesday, Sept. 10, to kick off the 2025-2026 metro New Orleans cultural season. The event, which is free and open to all, will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA).
Presented by WWNO and hosted by the NOMA, this one-of-a-kind cultural celebration brings together patrons and artists for a self-guided exploration of metro New Orleans’ arts, culture and humanities nonprofit organizations. Culture Collision guests are invited to stroll throughout NOMA to engage with over 50 local nonprofit organizations ranging from classical arts institutions to resourceful contemporary newcomers. The evening includes a showcase of the powerful, creative energy of the city along with free giveaways, exclusive promotions, and live performances.
WWNO launched Culture Collision in 2008 to raise awareness of the significant impact of the cultural community on the local economy and to provide a platform for collaboration and promotion among cultural organizations.
“From its first year, Culture Collision has featured the broadest range of New Orleans’ cultural endeavors,” said Paul Maassen, WWNO general manager. “We look forward to bringing this impactful event back to Orleans Parish and are proud to present an evening that will amplify so many streams of local artistic expression.”
