Cocktail Reception at the New Orleans Museum of Art Besthoff Sculpture Garden: Hosted by Private Client Select

The PCS VIP Cocktail Reception at the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden took place amid the serene landscape of the New Orleans Museum of Art grounds. Guests arrived in the early evening and were welcomed by a New Orleans brass band, signature cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres served throughout the garden’s walkways and terraces. The event offered attendees exclusive after-hours access to the sculpture garden, beautifully illuminated under the live oaks and surrounding lagoons.

Live music created an elegant atmosphere as patrons mingled among the sculptures, enjoying the combination of art, nature, and social connection. Museum representatives offered brief remarks highlighting recent exhibitions and upcoming programs. The reception provided a relaxed yet sophisticated environment for conversation and networking while celebrating the artistic and cultural significance of the garden.

A professional tarot card reader was invited as a special guest for the evening, offering guests private mini-readings throughout the reception. Set within a quiet, candle-lit corner of the garden, the experience blended art, intuition, and atmosphere, perfectly complementing the sculptural surroundings.

The evening concluded with guests gathering near the reflecting pool and taking a trolley ride home, marking the event as a memorable celebration of art, community, and philanthropy in New Orleans.
