About Daniel
Welcome to the website dedicated to preserving the memory of Daniel Buckner Price (1975-2003). Daniel was a talented artist and a loving husband, brother, son, and friend. A native of New Orleans, Daniel was tragically murdered at the age of 28 in San Francisco while trying to protect his wife from a would-be assailant. We miss Daniel constantly, and put together this website so that others who knew and loved Daniel around the world, as well as those that were not so lucky, can continue to have Daniel bring them joy through his beatiful art and infectious smile. For more information about Daniel's life, please visit the About Daniel page.

Upcoming Events 2008
The details for the 5th Annual Benefit Concert for the Daniel Price Memorial Scholarship Fund/New Orleans Center for Creative Arts have been finalized and (I know I say this every year but it's always true!) this is going to be by far the best one yet. As always, the evening will be a celebration of art, music and the future of New Orleans, with proceeds going toward a scholarship for a graduating NOCCA visual arts student and to fund various programs for current NOCCA students of all disciplines.
The concert will be at the House of Blues-New Orleans on Tuesday evening, December 23, 2008. There will be a Patron Party from 6 - 7:30 with food, open bar, and another very special performance by New Orleans legend Irma Thomas! Tickets for the Patron Party are $125 and are available online.
Then, from 8pm - 'til, for the main event, we have an amazing all-star lineup that includes Kermit Ruffins, Troy Andrews and Orleans Avenue, John Boutte, ReBirth Brass Band, Rockin' Doopsie, and Jonathan Batiste! It's going to be a truly incredible night. And you never know who might show up...last year we had a surprise visit from Lenny Kravitz so the bar has been set high....In any event, it is sure to be a really fun event for an amazing cause! Tickets for this portion of the evening are $30 and can be purchased online.
