LOCAL COLOR


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 won’t find anywhere else.

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.

Beds

mural & cutouts

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.

Jess c . x

tufted art

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.

macrame & Mural

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.
