October 26, 2013, The Ogden Museum of Southern Art presented George Rodrigue with the prestigious Opus Award at the “O What a Night Gala”.
Unable to attend the event, Jacques Rodrigue, his fiancé Mallory Page Chastant, and André Rodrigue spoke for George, and accepted the award on his behalf.
This amazing tribute was created by the Ogden Museum, with the help of the family and friends of George Rodrigue.
The Opus Award, founded in 2007, is given each year to a member of the arts community whose life’s work constitutes a major contribution to the cultural landscape of the South.
