WELCOME TO THE NEW QUORUM

The New Quorum is a 100+ year old mansion in New Orleans on historic Esplanade Avenue. Originally built in 1911, the property is located in the Esplanade Ridge National Historic District and is conveniently located mid-way between the French Quarter and City Park. Esplanade Avenue was once the grand avenue for wealthy French residents in the 18th and 19th centuries including the extended family of Edgar Degas, whose historic home is across the avenue. Evoking a time of New Orleans history that is long gone, the property embodies elegant New Orleans architecture with fifteen-foot ceilings, pocket doors, detailed medallions, period furnishings, lovely gardens, patio and a beautiful porch view of Esplanade Avenue. The property is available to host weddings, private and community events. Surrounding areas include Bayou St. John and New Orleans City Park, which are less than a mile away for walking/running trails, kayaking, and biking.

THE NEW QUORUM’s RESIDENCY PROGRAM is dedicated to bringing professional musicians and writers from across the globe to New Orleans for meaningful cultural exchange with local and regional artists. We promote and facilitate cultural exchange through our Artist Residency program, producing cultural events, and conducting an artist exchange program that provides New Orleans artists with cultural opportunities outside the city. These programs and activities are designed to provide professional development and career support to New Orleans’ large and varied community of artists while disseminating the unique culture of our city worldwide.
