ON THE SCENE
Member Appreciation and a Prohibition Party
The 2015 Laussat Gala honored members of The Collection’s Laussat Society and Bienville Circle. This year, in addition to the Rockmore acquisition (see p. 20), the member groups made possible the publication of a forthcoming monograph on sculptor Enrique Alferez. Joseph and Sue Ellen Canizaro hosted the elegant affair at their Old Metairie home.

As part of its 175th anniversary celebration, Antoine’s Restaurant hosted a Prohibition-themed “speakeasy” dinner, with part of the proceeds benefiting The Historic New Orleans Collection.
As costumed protesters advocated temperance outside the door, the French Quarter restaurant provided food and drinks, entertainment by Jimmy Maxwell and Giselle Bonfaire, and a chance to relive a piece of New Orleans history.
