Fat City

The Fat City Mural Project has given the area a new visual identity by adding 10 murals by local & nationally recognized artists to highly visible community walls in the Fat City area. The collection is one of the largest public mural projects in the Deep South & a majority of the murals are within walking distance along North Arnoult and 18th Street.

Bucktown

This long mural right near R&O's Restaurant in Bucktown was painted by Robert Dafford and Kelly Turan. It's a tribute to Bucktown's past, featuring fishing boats, wildlife, seafood and other symbols of bygone Bucktown.

Gretna

Right across the river from our famous neighbor is Gretna. I've already mentioned the Popeyes mural, but there's also a stunning mural on the German-American Cultural Center. Painted by Robert Dafford, this mural depicts scenes of Gretna's German heritage.

Local artist, Keith Eccles teamed up with the Popeyes Foundation to create the "Love That" mural that can be found on 1st Street & Huey P Long Ave. This wall art was featured in a national Popeyes TV commercial for popcorn shrimp that aired on television in 2019.
