See plans for big Canal Street art installations
April 8, 2025 By Chelsea Brasted
New, large-scale art installations are now on view along Canal Street.
Why it matters: The art project looks a lot like house floats, but on a bit grander scale, thanks to the cohesion between them.
The big picture: The project comes from Celebrate Canal!, a grassroots coalition whose aim is to drive new interest and revitalization along one of New Orleans’ largest and most visible thoroughfares.
Zoom in: Working with Where Y’Art Works, “Windows on Canal” has large-scale, 3D art projects installed at several Canal Street businesses. The work to get them in place began at the end of March.
The artists included Courtney “Ceaux” Buckley, Tyla Maiden, Bryan Brown, Ayo Scott and Jacques Francois.
Their work can be spotted at the Saenger Theatre, the Sheraton, Rubensteins, Canal Place, the Mayfair Hotel and the Ruby Slipper.
