Longue Vue House and Gardens Welcomes Tony Chauveaux as New Executive Director
Longue Vue House and Gardens’ Board of Directors is pleased to announce Tony Chauveaux has been named the institution’s Executive Director. Chauveaux brings an impressive background in museum and nonprofit administration to Longue Vue, including serving as the Deputy Director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the Deputy Chairman for Grants and Awards at the National Endowment for the Arts.
His extensive experience serving on the boards of arts organizations and working for nonprofits will be instrumental to continuing the legacy of Longue Vue founders Edith and Edgar Stern. Board of Directors’ President, Jon F. “Chip” Leyens stated, “Tony has demonstrated ability in management, excellent people skills and a clear vision of how Longue Vue will continue its mission of preserving and using its historical and artistic legacy to educate and inspire people to pursue beauty and civic responsibility in their lives. We are excited to have someone as talented as Tony to guide the organization.”
At the Ronald Reagan Library, Chauveaux oversaw the Library’s collections inventory project, actively participated in the planning, construction and installation of $12.75 million in newly renovated museum galleries and most recently engaged in planning the Library’s re-installation of the Situation Room from the White House in Washington, D.C.
His ability to lead merited an appointment to chair the Texas Commission on the Arts by then Governor George W. Bush in 1999. Additionally, Chauveaux has served on boards of local, regional and national arts organizations, including the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies, and the Institute of Texan Cultures at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He has served as president of the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, president of Friends of the Arts at Lamar University and vice president of the Symphony of Southeast Texas. In 1996, he received the Southeast Texas Arts Council award for outstanding achievement by an arts volunteer.
Chauveaux was raised on a ranch in the Texas Panhandle near the town of Claude. He received a bachelor’s degree in journalism from The University of Texas at Austin and a Juris Doctor degree from St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio. He served as a law clerk to the Honorable Joseph J. Fisher, then Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and practiced law for over 20 years before entering public service at the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. He will assume his new position as leader of Longue Vue on November 4, 2013.

October 26th 2013 Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association
THE ORIGINAL VOODOO ON THE BAYOU
by Tom Fitzmorris
Long before the Voodoo Festival in City Park took over the Halloween weekend, the Faubourg St John Neighborhood Association held its annual fundraising party—also Halloween weekend, also with a voodoo theme, also near City Park. Instead of loud music, however, the theme is food. (Although , too.) The location is right: The Pitot House, one of the city’s oldest houses, on Bayou St. John in the bend across from City Park. It was the home of James Pitot, the first mayor of New Orleans.
The party starts at eight-thirty this Saturday, October 26 and goes until midnight, with all the essential makings of a fun evening: live music, open bar, and food. What food? From these esteemed culinarians, most of which are from the neighborhood:
The tickets are available in advance for $50 online () or at these merchants:
Terranova Supermarket, 3308 Esplanade Ave
Swirl Wine, 3143 Ponce de Leon
Tickets are also at the door for $60. The money goes toward the continuing improvement of that historic neighborhood and the Pitot House itself, which is a real gem. Faubourg St. John’s projects include the ReBridge Project, Desmare Playground, and the Bayou Children’s Halloween event.
