The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy (OCE) has unveiled an opportunity for local artists and cultural businesses to collaborate with Super Bowl LIX. Scheduled for February 9, 2025, the highly anticipated event presents a unique platform for New Orleans’ creative community to shine on a global stage.
OCE is inviting professionals in the cultural and creative industries to express their interest by submitting their contact information through a special call for interest form. This information will be added to the Cultural Economy Directory and shared with the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, Super Bowl leadership, and NFL-affiliated stakeholders. Those who respond will be considered for participation in various official Super Bowl LIX events and activations leading up to and on game day.
Potential opportunities for collaboration include high-profile events such as the NFL Experience, NFL Honors, Host Committee events, pre-game activities and Super Bowl perimeter activities. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that local talent is front and center during the Super Bowl festivities.
“This is a unique chance to recognize and showcase our local talent during one of the most highly anticipated events of the year,” said Alexis. “As stewards of the arts and culture, our office wants to ensure that our community is prepared to engage when prime opportunities present themselves.”
The call for interest is open to a wide range of artistic disciplines, including traditional cultural artists, brass bands, amplified bands, youth bands (high school and college), visual artists, gospel/spiritual artists, culinary professionals, movement artists, DJs, emcees, photographers and videographers, film industry vendors, designers (fashion, graphic, floats), event managers, writers and publishers, tour guides, makeup artists, hair stylists and barbers.
Interested parties are encouraged to submit their information by August 28 for primary consideration, though the form will remain open as long as opportunities are available.Click here to apply now.
