Jefferson Parish Artscapes  


Artscapes is a public art program created to bring art in the form of sculptures to the masses of Jefferson Parish. With sculptures located on major thoroughfares, public parks, and other public spaces, this program provides individuals with an opportunity to view and appreciate art in an informal setting.

Sculptures have been donated by local and regional philanthropists or are on loan through museums and private collections.

The Henry Shane Sculpture Trail, a collection of art that is located throughout the East and West Banks of Jefferson Parish, along with the city of Kenner, features over 67 sculptures donated by Henry Shane and his wife, Pat.

William Henry Shane, Jr. (born June 29, 1937) is a successful businessman, generous philanthropist, and avid collector of art and classic cars. Henry and his wife, Pat, have gifted more than 30 sculptures to Jefferson Parish to date in an effort to beautify our public thoroughfares and make art accessible to all. His donated works include those of renowned artists George Rodrigue, Hunt Slonem, James Michalopoulos, Ida Kohlmeyer, and Lin Emery, among others. His investment in our community has resulted in increased property values, a source of civic pride, and a greater appreciation of the arts. It is with heartfelt thanks that Jefferson Parish names our public artscape project and sculpture trail in honor of Henry Shane.

SCULPTURE COLLECTION - Kenner

Henry Shane decided in 2014, when Kenner embarked on a plan to improve the aesthetics of its city corridors, that the couple would augment the project by donating public sculptures by regional and national artists to improve and beautify the Jefferson Parish streetscape.

Now, the grassy stretch of Power Boulevard from West Esplanade Boulevard to Vintage Drive, along with portions of Loyola Drive, have been converted into an outdoor sculpture exhibit where over 45 art pieces (and counting) currently reside, allowing parish residents to partake in their beauty daily.
