Artist in Residence Exhibition | The DK Bridal Debut by Donaka Katherine
- - |
- Gallery | Ace Hotel New Orleans
Ace Hotel New Orleans and Material Institute present “The DK Bridal Debut” an exhibition by Donaka Katherine.
The DK Knitwear Wedding Collection aims to share the joy of the authentic New Orleanian wedding. From jumping the broom in a lush wedding dress inspired by New Orleans architecture to the parading of extravagantly decorated second line umbrellas, this collection will immerse the viewers in what is considered to be one of the biggest celebrations of life, NOLA style.
“The DK Bridal Debut” is on view in the Ace Hotel New Orleans gallery starting May 2.
Donaka Katherine specializes in hand and machine knitting with a growing skill set in natural dyeing. She approaches the realm of fashion through a deeply interpersonal perspective, aiming to evoke profound emotions in unconventional yet relatable ways through her creations.
The Material Institute is a nonprofit arts center and free education space in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward which provides resources to a new generation of homegrown artists working in music, fashion and community gardening.
Ace Artist in Residence is the embodiment of our deep conviction that artists deliver us a critical lens through which to understand the world and ourselves. Through the program, we turn our rooms into studio spaces and invite arts organizations to take residency at the hotel and present work in The Gallery. Read all about our past residencies here.

Jazz Brunch in Josephine Estelle at Josephine Estelle
We think a good brunch should go something like a jazz quartet. Pancakes ground you like the walking bass, egg yolks coat your palate like the lush sounds of a grand piano, coffee adds some mid-morning rhythm, and the citrus brightens the mood like a sting from a horn. Josephine Estelle offers weekend brunch from 8am to 3pm with Or Shovaly creating a soundscape to make your morning that much better.
