We are thrilled to share the exciting unveiling of the VOTE mural, a vibrant and powerful piece of public art created by the incredibly talented Bryson Boutte. Commissioned by the Power Coalition for Equity and Justice, this mural is more than just an aesthetic addition to our community—it’s a tool for empowerment.
Strategically located on the wall of a building soon to house a ghost kitchen for local chefs, this mural features a dynamic QR code that directs passersby to essential voter education resources. With a simple scan, residents can access their polling locations, sample ballots, amendment information, and key voting dates for each upcoming national and local election.
As the Associate Director of Public Art and Placemaking for The Walls Project, I take immense pride in our decade-long dedication to North Baton Rouge. Our mission has always been to use art as a catalyst for commerce and collective power among our residents. This project, hosted by Jason Hughes, founder of Project 70805, exemplifies the seamless blend of economic development, community engagement, and advocacy.
The soon-to-be ghost kitchen behind this mural will provide much-needed infrastructure for local chefs to grow their small businesses, further driving economic vitality in our community. Through this initiative, we are not just decorating walls; we are building a stronger, more informed, and empowered 70805.
Thank you to everyone who attended the unveiling and for your ongoing commitment to our community. Together, let’s continue to inspire change, one vote at a time.
Stay connected, stay informed, and let’s make every vote count!
