Race & Religious is located along the riverfront of the Lower Garden District, between the Convention Center and Magazine Street. Offering 6,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor floor-space (4,000 indoor), Race & Religious is comprised of three structures on the property. Built in the 1830’s, a two-story Creole cottage facing Religious Street was purchased by owner Granville Semmes in 1977 in complete disrepair. He spent nearly thirty years gutting the property, restoring its original beauty and adding hand-picked antiques and layers of decor. Years later, Semmes became eager to acquire the neighboring corner property at 510 Race Street, which he eventually purchased in August of 2003. The addition was a three story Greek Revival Rowhouse accompanied by a dependency, a hallmark of the property. The labor of love required extensive renovations, including his decision to re-imagine the space by merging the separate homes together with a lush brick courtyard and swimming pool lit by the flicker of gas lamps. The unified space includes two commercially-equipped kitchens, working fireplaces, interior and exterior speakers, balconies overlooking the courtyard and downtown New Orleans.

The Music Box Village is a whimsical village of artist-made interactive "musical houses" that comes together as a result of play, imagination, experimentation, collaboration, community, and hard work. It is a place where all of these elements come together. Each installation is a product of a collaborative effort between artists based in New Orleans and elsewhere in the world, and it draws its inspiration from the one-of-a-kind musical and architectural culture of our hometown, New Orleans. In addition to hosting intensive artist residencies, performances, and panel discussions, our one-of-a-kind art site welcomes guests for the purposes of exploration and play. New Orleans Airlift is an artist-driven non-profit organization whose mission is to collaborate to inspire wonder, connect communities, and foster opportunities through arts education and the creation of experimental public artworks. Music Box Village is the organization's flagship project, and it was designed to look like a collection of music boxes. Our work in the Music Box Village pushes artistic boundaries, but more importantly, it brings together people of all walks of life for heartwarming, creative experiences. These experiences have equal appeal for a musical giant such as Norah Jones, an experimental legend such as Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), or a gaggle of five-year-olds!

Hotel Peter and Paul is the result of a four-year restoration of the former Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic church and school. The site is steeped in history, from the splendid Henry Howard-designed buildings to the school’s appearance in A Confederacy of Dunces, and its author’s (possibly apocryphal) three-person funeral in the church. The former school house, rectory, church and convent have each been carefully restored and repurposed for new congregants. Each building has its own inspiration and narrative, with the resulting restoration ensuring that no two guest rooms are exactly alike. We hope you will honor this landmark by adding to its history through your own experiences.
