LOCAL COLOR AND FLAIR IN OUR CUSTOM  ART PROGRAM


CastleDay is run, designed, and operated by locals and same goes for our art program.  Each villa is filled with custom work from New Orleans artists that bring inspiration from the outside to life inside. The creative energy of the neighborhood flows through the space.

Maddie Stratton

@maddiestratton 

Local artist Maddie Stratton, known for her color and use of animals and flora in her artworks were the perfect addition to our villas. For our dining rooms, she extends her original paintings through the contrasting one color murals and found objects.

Hill Landry

Hill Landry, a local muralist, applies bold color and shape to Louisiana reptilia to emphasize scale in the living rooms and play with the unique square window pattern on our main accent wall.

MURAL

A bright white stairwell with a hanging mobile of photos and a handrail.

Antonia Zennaro

@antoniazennaro 

Zennaro’s photo-based mobile reflects CastleDay’s location on Japonica Street, referencing nearby bridges, trains, and waterways. “Japonica” nods to a sunken ship and local plants like Magnolia japonica. The site’s past as the Louisiana SPCA appears through a few furry cameos and lyrics to Alan Toussaint's old LASPCA jingle.


SCREENPRINTED MOBILE

Bedroom with a bed, art, window, wooden floor, mirror, and television on the wall.

Zac Maras

@zmarasart

Local artist Zac Maras painted cutouts of staple Louisiana fish species, rendered in his signature style, emerge from the depths with vibrant motion. For a backdrop, he artistically adds Louisiana’s sea, river, and swamp waters in all their shifting tones and colors.

MURAL & PAINTING

Bedroom with a bed, TV, window, and artwork on a white wall with coral-colored design elements.

Jess C.X

@jessc.x

Inspired by Henry Fisk’s meandering river flow maps and their impact on migratory bird paths, multimedia artist Jess C. X symbolizes that relationship in her tufted works. These pieces depict silhouettes of extinct migratory birds, seemingly flying over winding river systems that are constantly shifting through time.


TUFTED PAINTINGS

Bedroom with white bedding, floral artwork, and a large window overlooking a patio.

Weapy Weaver

@weapyweaver

Around mid-March, it is impossible to ignore the yellow flowers cropping up from overgrown vines atop New Orleans houses. Here, Catherine Goll (Weapy Weaver) plays with dimension as she recreates this classic New Orleans image through fabric and weave.


MURAL & MACRAME

Bedroom with a king bed, teal accent wall, artwork, and closet.

Epaul Julien

@epauljulienart 

Epaul takes discarded New Orleans fleur-de-lis window frames and gives them new life as canvas frames, proudly displaying striking portraits of local music icons Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, and Mahalia Jackson.

BRINGING THE 

OUTSIDE IN


CastleDay is local at heart and bold by design - just like the surrounding Bywater neighborhood. Each villa is filled with custom work from New Orleans artists that bring the outside in.


The creative energy of the neighborhood flows through the space, giving it a sense of place you wont find anywhere else.
