Come and experience Drop & Gimme 50: The Art of New Orleans Bounce. Through music, images, and video this exhibition explores the movements and dance associated with the regionally specific genre of music known as bounce music.

Drop & Gimme 50 is a chance for a national audience to view and confront a piece of New Orleans' living culture. Only in the recent years has bounce music traveled beyond the city New Orleans and been embraced by others. This exhibition is an opportunity for the viewer to experience and learn about the roots and contemporary practices surrounding bounce music and dance. The space is designed to immerse the audience into the art of Bounce.
