On the corner of Chartres and Piety Street in the Bywater of New Orleans is a warehouse constructed from rough sheet metal, and is covered in graffiti and street art. The building was once decorated with a vibrant and powerful mural dedicated to cultural awareness. The piece was originally created in the summer of 2009. Rex Digler, street artist and founder of NOLA Rising, an art campaign supporting street art that provides a positive impact on the community, lead the effort. Digler along with Ivan Petrovsky, a Russian street artist also known as Mustart, and a New Orleans street artist known as TARD, they teamed up with a team of teenagers from New Orleans and New Jersey from the NOLA Preservation Society, an organization operating out of the northeast United States, whose goal is to bring teens to the city of New Orleans and teach them about the culture of the city through, music, art, food and more, to create the beautiful piece.
