NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The cancellation of 2020 Jazz Fest due to the pandemic put many businesses and artists out of work. Now artists are finding work by creating works of art for house floats around New Orleans.
Stronghold Studios oversees the artwork, sculptures and paintings that bring extra pizzazz to Jazz Fest. Coco Darrow, owner at Stronghold, said a lot of uncertainty came with the cancellation of last year’s festival.
