| New Orleans has long been known to possess an irresistible allure for versatile and talented artists. Its unique history, steeped in legend and arcane traditions, creates a romanticism and inspiration not found in any other American city. Local artists abound, many of whom are nationally and internationally known, along with many relocated artists who were drawn to the city to capture its essence in a variety of mediums. A prime example is the Jackson Square Artists Colony, a self-regulated group of artists who continue the tradition of the open-air art market in and near the historic Place d’Armes. Legend has it that the great artist and illustrator John James Audubon also found inspiration is this revered public square, surrounded by the iron-lace balconies of the ancient Pontalba Apartments, in the shadow of the grand Basilica, St. Louis Cathedral. Incomparable examples of original artwork, photography, sculpture and art posters can be discovered while browsing the distinctive shops on Royal Street and throughout the historic Vieux Carre, strolling along Magazine Street, or visiting the galleries, museums and studios of the Warehouse District. Or cross the Mighty Mississippi River to marvel at the decorative float art that makes the city’s Mardi Gras a world-class celebration.
