NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts (GRFA) and New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) announced today the limited-edition release of Rodrigue’s “Louisiana ArtWorks” piece, all hand-signed by George Rodrigue. The prints were originally created in 2003 by Rodrigue to benefit the art studio complex, Louisiana ArtWorks, and the design depicts the building formerly occupied by ArtWorks located in New Orleans’ Warehouse District as well as the only instance from Rodrigue’s Blue Dog series featuring a New Orleans streetcar. In 2018, NOCHI purchased the Louisiana ArtWorks building depicted in the artwork and soon after opened their headquarters in the location on the corner of Howard Avenue and Carondelet Street.
