Art Box Project

Today’s episode was inspired by my daughter Olivia. Driving around New Orleans, she’s been fascinated by utility boxes – specifically those that have been painted. She asked me to learn more about it. Turns out those painted boxes are part of a program run by a non-profit called Community Visions Unlimited. To help us learn more I’m joined by the Vice President of CVU – Jeannie Tidy.

Sponsors

Long time listeners are familiar with Two Chicks Walking tours as they’ve been featured guests on the podcast as well as supported our work through sponsorship over the years. What you might not know is that they’ve also caught the attention of major media outlets and brands within the travel space.

American Express has highlighted them in a three day itinerary alongside the Roosevelt, Congo Square, Preservation Hall, Dooky Chase and Tipitina’s.

Thrillist includes their Garden District Walking tours in a two day itinerary paired with Commander’s Palace – a lovely duo if ever there was one.

Major publications such as Southern Living, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire all recommend this small company’s offerings be included in a well planned New Orleans itinerary.
