The two-day BUKU Music + Art Project has announced the performance schedule for its sixth annual festival, which will boast a star-studded talent roster as well as an array of distinct visual art installations, local food and craft vendors. Staged at Mardi Gras World, within the heart of the Big Easy, artists will perform across multiple unique & intimate stages set along the Mississippi River.
The LIVE GRAFFITI GALLERY, curated by Dogslobber, returns highlighting 14 New Orleans artists participating in the live art presentation that includes: Achoo, Axe, Dvote, Fat Kids, Henry Lipkis, Kate Hanrahan, Meek, Pat Phillips, Swan, Task, Trial, Uter, Wooly and Sweetalk. See video here. Their graffiti, featured on 10x8 ft panels, will be auctioned at the end of the festival with proceeds benefitting Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) and Upbeat Academy Foundation, a program for at-risk New Orleans youth that offers career development and education in the essential technical and creative skills involved in the production and performance of hip-hop and electronic music.
The festival, located in downtown New Orleans, will feature performances across five unique stages: the main outdoor Power Plant stage, set against the backdrop of an abandoned early 20th Century power plant; the electronic-focused Float Den stage, housed in a Mardi Gras float manufacturing warehouse; the sleek indoor Ballroom stage equipped with a balcony; the fan-favorite Back Alley stage, which offers views of the city’s iconic Crescent City Connection bridge; and the VIP-only stage housed aboard the S.S. BUKU riverboat docked on the Mississippi River.
