Art on the Greenway

We love art on the Greenway and wish to make it a home for New Orleans’ talent. We host more than 20 permanent art pieces and murals and hold many temporary installations.

As you move closer to “Iris of Memory,” the light within glows brighter, representing the power of memory to connect us to life, even when someone is no longer physically with us. The glowing bouquet embodies our urban greenscape and the need to protect our local and global environment. The flower is inspired by the Louisiana Iris, which is native to the coastal wetlands and planted nearby in the Greenway bioswales.

This colorful and energetic piece was inspired by the Susie Tree that survived the Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995. The mural was an interactive component of the Walk / Bike / Places Conference that was held in New Orleans in 2018 and was made possible by Sinnett, Massey’s Outfitters, and the Project for Public Spaces.
