Man oh man this was one great end to my week. Good people, good food, good vibes, security everywhere, a lot of people up here networking, trying to see what's going on in the community, catching up on old times. Great music, just out here enjoying each other's energy, you got to come experience this beautifulness!!! Every Thursday at The King Arts Complex from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. make sure you bring good energy and positive vibes!!! Also seen a few recognizable food trucks like 'Juniors Sweet Potato Pie'. 'Way Down Yonder New Orleans finest food truck' 'Mr G's Flavorhouse'
And others that will make your mouth water!!! Come up here and eat good ya'll!!! I also must send a shout out to Senator Hearcel Craig who came out and showed a lot of love to a community that he grew up in and still loves to represent and does a lot for the community, so we must appreciate what he does and the fact that he still returns and makes sure he uplifts the community and still communicates and interacts with us thank you Mr Hearcel Craig.

04/20/2024-First time revisiting The King Arts Complex since the pandemic. It welcomes all artistry genres to showcase their gifts with the community. From dancers, musicians, singers., painters to poets The King Arts Complex help celebrate all forms of art by educating, enhancing the artist, and enriching culture. Thank you, Ms. Gillard for sharing your talented vision. The complex itself is a work of art on the exterior and the interior some talented wall decor welcoming all to visit the past, present, and future.
Some events are complimentary. Parking located in front of the building.

Visited for the first time to see author James McBride. We arrived to greeters happy to check us in to the event and they were very welcoming. Once checked in I walked around the center and looked at some of the art work posted. The event was very well run and listening to James McBride was a delight. He touched on his current book as well as a few of his older classics and had a long Q&A session. Afterwards he signed books and took pictures while the center had cookies and waters for everyone. It was a great evening and we look forward to attending another event at the King Arts Complex.
