Mural tours
THE SELF-GUIDED MURAL TOUR STARTS AT 1901 TCHOUPITOULAS ST., NEW ORLEANS, LA 70130 - WALMART SUPERCENTER
At over 1 mile long, the mural will break records while celebrating NOLA history. It is also the first time in over 100 years that an artist has been alowed to paint a floodwall. Upon completion, our goal is to turn the area into a park to allow visitors to embark on an in person and virtual journey of New Orleans history.
THE SELF-GUIDED MURAL TOUR ENDS AT 3033 TCHOUPITOULAS ST., NEW ORLEANS, LA 70115 - NOLA BREWING & PIZZA CO.
Located along a highly trafficked corridor the enormous project serves as a teaching opportunity that connects New Orleans’ past, present, and future. Planning for the murals began nearly four years ago. The mile-long historical mural is the first time the Flood Protection Authority has granted permits and allowed the floodwall to turn from ‘concrete to canvas’.
The mural
The mural starts at the 1900 Block of Tchoupitoulas near Wal-Mart and ends at NOLA Brewing. Under the artistic direction of renowned New Orleans artist Jamar D. Pierre, NOIM is in the process of painting a roughly one-mile long stretch of the Tchoupitoulas floodwall. Organized as an historical timeline of New Orleans beginning in the 1700s, upon completion, the mural will document over 300 years of New Orleans history up until present day.
