The Bright Lights Awards Dinner brings together local officials, community leaders, and humanities advocates alike for a celebration of our Humanities Awards winners and all the humanities can help Louisianans achieve. The annual event is a chance for the community to come together and celebrate the contributions of our state’s artists, authors, scholars, filmmakers, activists, and most ardent supporters of Louisiana culture.
The evening features a silent auction with items like locally-made art, unforgettable travel opportunities, festival passes, and more goods that reflect the diversity and richness of Louisiana.
This year’s event takes place Thursday, May 11, 2023, from 7 to 9 p.m. under the stars at LEH’s historic Turners’ Hall, 938 Lafayette Street in New Orleans. A patron party will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. in The Helis Foundation John Scott Center, which now occupies the first floor of Turners’ Hall.
The evening will feature a silent auction with items like locally-made art, unforgettable travel opportunities, festival passes, and more goods that reflect the diversity and richness of Louisiana.
