Commissioning a mural in New Orleans, Louisiana works best as a real project: a clear design phase, a scoped wall, and a professional process from first sketch to final coat — not a spray-paint favor. Corey Barksdale is an Atlanta-based muralist and fine artist who takes on mural, live-painting, and public art commissions nationwide, including projects in New Orleans.
Muralist for hire in New Orleans
New Orleans has one of the most community-rooted mural traditions in the country, especially in neighborhoods like Treme, Bywater, and the St. Claude corridor, where public art has long doubled as storytelling, memorial, and neighborhood pride after Katrina.
What working with Corey Barksdale looks like
Every project starts with a conversation about the wall, the site, and what the mural needs to do — tell a story, anchor a brand, activate a community space, or mark an event. From there, design concepts, a clear timeline, and a straightforward scope come before any paint goes up, so there are no surprises for you or your New Orleans location.
