JAMNOLA kicked off the Carnival season with a burst of Mardi Gras magic. The Mardi Gras-themed exhibits and activations include a captivating video immersion titled “All on a Mardi Gras Day (2003),” paying homage to the memory of documentary filmmaker Royce Osborn. Guests can immerse themselves in the iconic Krewes of Mardi Gras with the “You Hold the Key” Mural by Noah Church and experience the intricate beadwork in “The Bead Goes On” by Chad Smith, created with over 20,000 recycled Mardi Gras beads. The “Costume Closet” curated by Shel Roumillat features 30+ pieces of parade memorabilia, and “Umbrella Strut” by Kari Lee captures the vibrant culture of Mardi Gras “Babydolls” and social clubs. Additional highlights include the “Mardi Gras Arch” by Breanna Thompson and Robin Durand, as well as a new Mardi Gras-inspired exhibit music playlist curated by JAMNOLA Music Ambassador Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph.
“The JAMNOLA experience is filled with Mardi Gras moments and magic that will complement the parade experience,” explained JAMNOLA Founder, Jonny Liss. “We hope to bring everyone a little extra Mardi Gras joy, art, and music this Carnival season.”
