NEW ORLEANS (press release) – To help Louisianians beat the heat, The Helis Foundation has again teamed up with two of its “Art for All Free Day” institutions for the fourth year to offer free admission on hot summer days. During “Art & AC” throughout the month of July, Louisiana residents gain free admission on Sundays to both New Orleans Museum of Art and Ogden Museum of Southern Art when the institutions are open, courtesy of The Helis Foundation.
