Cool stone sculptures by Stacy Deslattes are upstairs - dubbed Coolspace - at Artspace, 710 Texas.

Downstairs is a stimulating and touching display by an array of New Orleans artists. If you can't attend Jazzfest, check in with the 150 paintings and photos by Crescent City painters.

There are two exhibits, "New Orleans artists in exile," and "Made in New Orleans." Both are on national tours and are highly recommendable. In fact, don't be surprised if you want to go back after one visit to consume more of this show. It's like a super-chocolate cake.
