The Louisiana Oyster Trail is the first public art project designed to promote Louisiana oysters and seafood through the Louisiana Tourism Recovery Program and the Jefferson Convention and Visitors Bureau. This marketing campaign is to promote participating restaurants and their signature oyster dish to locals and visitors alike. Each business will receive a three foot oyster sculpture to be desig

ned by a local artist and displayed outside the business. Each oyster has been uniquely themed and conceptualized by the restaurant owner and artist. The campaign will consist of the art sculpture, a printed brochure, internet marketing, and a televised launch this fall. If you are a restaurant owner and interested in participating in the Louisiana Oyster Trail contact [email protected] or call 504-731-7083 for more information. We are continuing to accept artist applications. The name of the featured artist will be displayed on the oyster and in all printed materials. This project is strictly voluntary with no financial compensation. If you are interested in participating email [email protected]

ARTIST GUIDELINES:
Must be 18 years of age and a resident of Louisiana
Artist must provide their own materials and work space
Artist is responsible for pick up and delivery of the oyster sculpture
Artist is responsible for any damaged, lost or stolen oyster sculpture
Must provide picture ID and current contact information
