ArtEgg Studios

Located in the Broad Street Cultural Products District, ArtEgg Studios was found in 2001 by Dr. Esther Dyer. Since its inception, the ArtEgg has developed into a creative space for creative people. The Lousiaina Department of Economics has renewed ArtEgg's certification as a Louisiana small business entrepreneurship - located in the Broad Street Cu... ltural Products District. ArtEgg and its iconic sign "Everybody Loves a Good Egg" has been involved in many of the images associated with New Orleans. The clock prop above the door to Studio 105 was in the bus station scene of Love Song for Bobby Long with Scarlett Johansson and John Travolta. Props for Benjamin Button were also conceived at ArtEgg and Court 13's highly acclaimed Glory at Sea (http://www.court13.com/films) was filmed in what is now Studio 101 and Beasts of the Southern Wild post production was completed at ArtEgg. While many photographers are part of ArtEgg's community, and others have used it for photo shoots, our most famous commerical is Penzoil's Brett Favre promotion. Casting for the Treme pilot was hosted by ArtEgg. ArtEgg Studios is a 50,000 sq. ft. former produce warhouse for American Beauty Eggs, Butter and Turkeys. The original signs have been restored on the Earhart wall. The first floor has intact produce coolers converted to storage for art collections, studios for artists and musicians, workshops for set builders, and offices for nonprofits and entrepreneurs. The upper floor houses creative individuals and non-profit organizations. There are painters, photographers, wood and metal artists, fashion designers and filmakers. We are proud to be home to Louisianas Alliance for Affordable Energy and its Smart Building Resource Center, Kids Rethink New Orleans and the Heritage Foundation for Arts and Cultural Sustainability.Read More
