This was a powerful experience. Thought provoking, moving, inspiring! We were in New Orleans for the weekend during MLK Day and this by far was the most meaningful way we have ever observed that day in our lives. We learned a lot but were also very challenged & moved by the exhibits as well. Brandan BMike Odums is an important artist telling the story of our nation that everyone needs to hear. These works helped me to lament but also to move forward and left me inspired to lead with love. I am so glad I could see his works in person. Raw & beautiful! Highly recommend going!! read more

A very interesting location. If I were driving thru, I would just assume it's a warehouse. Walking in you would see huge size paintings of all kind catered to African American themes. You will stumble to an American Indian again one wall and some little white kids on this cool "blocks" stand. There is a locker with a cute face paint of a kid and a carved faces on the school chair table. There is a gift shop that they sell t shirts and empty decorated spray can the artists used. Lots of inspiration words all around the warehouse. You got to see it in person because my pictures don't give you the over all experience. I recommend only going during the daytime...lol read more

This place is a MUST if you're in NOLA. BMike has a truly extraordinary and sensitive mind. Probably the only art gallery where you're told to just BE instead of being told what not to do. There were some parts where I felt like a kid and other parts where I just had pause and welcome the chills and parts where I let myself breakdown. The gallery on when the levees broke was very powerful. His work is a testament of what love is and what it means to survive. read more

4.5/5 add a little to your visit (if you live here check it out on the residents-free day) you'll pay a small fee for entry into the working studio/warehouse/awesomeness space. i would say something like, you woudn't think this was all in here, if not for the giant and lovely mural that covers the side of the building along royal. i'd say you could easily spend an hour in here if you really move through each piece and think about them - you know, it's radical art. still encourage you to check it out even if it's not your thing - it'll be more authentic than your bike/segway/transplant-led bywater (new marigny?) tour. you can click through here or look up on other social media for what you might find. but it really doesn't give you the effect of looking at the pieces in their real-life size. i think that's part of what makes it so humbling, and if you have the chance to come in here every so often, you'll notice things you hadn't before, and i'd say of all the times i've come by bmike was mostly present and around. they also do school tours and such, so it's not just a "we are here to be looked at space" it is a "we are part of the community space" plan appropriately: it's a warehouse. depending on weather, it can be totally chill in there or it could feel like a toaster oven. now, if only i could afford to buy an original piece of art...the paint cans are also super cool! #dreamz read more

My cousin had told me about this studio and I had been anticipating the visit. I only come home (to NOLA) twice a year and yesterday StudioBE was on my list. I am so happy I took the time to experience this place. It's NOLA in July so walking through the warehouse space was a little HOT but I gladly fanned myself as I experienced the space. And it is an experience! Socially conscious artwork that is powerful and relevant. I walked through the warehouse taking it all in and let the waves of emotions take over me. My cousin and I also had the opportunity to meet the artist BMIKE2C. He is gifted and humble. One of my favorite quotes: "I am my ancestors' wildest dreams" read more

The works in Studio B should be in every school around the city for inspiration to young children everywhere.

An Important place to visit when in NOLA. You wouldn't miss the French Quarter - Don't miss this. Its art at it's finest. The concept of the space, the artists eye for social justice, and the location, all lend to the gravity of what is happening in our nation. From BLM to a nod to Jean-Michel Basquiat, to Hurricane Katrina and so much more, B-Mike brings you face to face with the realities and contradictions in what it means to be Black in America. Bring your cold bottle of water, your church fan, wear breathable clothing and get ready to be stunned, amazed, inspired, and motivated. You will never forget the experience. read more

I love BMike's art and his influence in Nola and was really excited to buy my first piece from him. One for myself, the other as a gift for a friend who wanted to purchase a larger piece. I ordered my things from the site on July 22nd, since I'm local I figured pickup would be fine, faster (on the site it said 24-48 hours) and less to do for the staff, right? No,I was left a voicemail five days after purchase that one piece wouldn't be ready but the other was. I called back to let them know, I was cool with picking up both at the same time as she said it'd be ready in another week (We're in a pandemic, I assumed things would move slow anyways). Fast forward to today (10 days later) ,I've already received another vm confirming that both are ready to pickup and a time frame to pick them up, I get there, they're closed. I call a rep, she's apologetic but avoidant and texts me the managers number who just says "yeah we're outta town but we MIGHT be back at 6, but we'll definitely be there tomorrow at 11-6". Me, annoyed but still wanting to be flexible, I agree to the 11-6. Manager then texts me saying actually they'll be closed but I can come in Monday. I urged that I'd be there today at 6, I arrive at 6:15 only to see a text stating that "we will only be here until 6:30". I walk in, lights are off, door was open and I announce MYSELF and nothing. Finally I see someone quietly walk in, no greeting and go straight to my order. She gives me a half assed "have a good day" but the damage was done and it was insincere anyways. The entire process was uncomfortable for me because I hate to be that person but I literally was given no choice. How can you make the customer feel like they're in the wrong after a list of inconveniences that YOU made? Shame on y'all. I'll be sure to stay away from this place moving forward. read more

We visited during his cow phase and many of his canvases were of cows. He is renowned for his paintings of regional architecture and famous musicians and for designing numerous NOLA Jazz Fest posters and artwork. Many of his architectural pieces seem to defy gravity, as he departs from traditional renderings by painting the structures in arches for example. He utilizes exaggerated viewpoints and skewed perspectives so beautifully! His approach is whimsical, fun, and very engaging! For his paintings, he uses palette knives primarily, and this method results in such a dense, tactile quality to the paint, it is almost as if the paint is ice cream-like, and the viewer could just take a spoon to get the paint off the canvas and take a bite! This is my favorite approach to painting, and it takes quite the commitment by the artist to achieve this result! This lovely, accurate description from his bio sums it up: "His portraits of shotgun houses and Creole cottages, captured in layer upon layer of thick impasto paint, brimmed with color and energy and captured the essence of his subject." Quite the visionary and entrepreneur, Michalopoulos owns a house in the Burgundy region, started and stewards a foundation devoted to providing affordable spaces in NOLA in which artists can create, and live. In the 90s he opened a rum distillery, Celebration Distillation, the first craft rum distillery in the nation in over a century. Celebration features the "Old Orleans" label, and sadly, it suffered a fire, and is closed until further notice. Amazingly, he is primarily self-taught artistically, although he took a couple of art classes in NOLA. This gallery is spacious, it's 3 stories, and not pretentious at all.

A Must-Visit in New Orleans Studio Be is an absolute gem in the heart of New Orleans. Brandan "Bmike" Odums' larger-than-life murals and immersive storytelling bring powerful narratives of resilience, culture, and social justice to life. The artwork is stunning, thought-provoking, and deeply rooted in the history and spirit of the city. Whether you're a visitor or a local like me , this space is a must-see for anyone who appreciates art with a purpose. One thing to note--there's no AC, so be prepared for the heat, especially during the warmer months. But trust me, the experience is worth it. Take your time, soak it all in, and leave inspired. read more

Studio Be in New Orleans is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience powerful art and local history. We stopped by on a Saturday and were blown away by the beautiful, thought-provoking works of BMike. The way he captures and displays the rich culture and history of New Orleans is remarkable, with numerous quotes on the walls that really inspired me. The entire space feels like a celebration of excellence and resilience. The only downside was a few roof leaks that created puddles in some areas, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. I look forward to returning! read more

Studio Be is a beautiful reflection of a people's story. I appreciate the stories being told throughout the exhibit, and I also appreciate Brandon's desire to tell many stories. No one was left hanging, and that's what's most important for me. I will definitely be back when I return to New Orleans. read more

Well, your humble Yelp art guide and art aficionado, William B, is here to tell you that Gallery Orange, in the Crescent City, is the real deal. William B has procured many works from several artists who call GO home (the likes of Lopez, Brady, Mills and Kemp to name just a few). It's been an immense pleasure to fill the home of William B with these visual treasures. Further, he has had the pleasure of discovering untaped/undiscovered artists, and bringing them to the attention of a myriad of new art lovers. I encourage each of you, upon venturing to the City That Care Forgot, to saunter down Royal St. in the FQ, find Miss Tracy, and make one of her treasures yours. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

For so long I wondered how the spooky/haunted capital of the country had gone decades without a place like this. HAUNT NOLA is the brainchild/gallery space of Butchovision. Butchovision in case you're unfamiliar, is known for crafting phenomenal horror themed art, patches, pins, and more. You can find all of his custom creations and more at his shop/gallery which is attached to the Deurty Boys gallery space on Chartres. It's a small little space but it's packed with interesting finds and lots of character. If you or a loved one is into all things horror/spooky, you have got to stop into this spot! I bought a few pins but want to definitely go back for some custom jackets and art. He has over 100 pins alone in the shop (how many do you think I can buy before my girlfriend sees my bank statement and takes my credit card away)? HAUNT NOLA just opened up within the last couple months but it's quickly becoming a favorite amongst locals (like Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints) and tourists alike!

Established in…read more1912, this 40,000 sq foot gallery features three rooms full of fine art, 18th & 19th century Antiques, luxury jewelry (Harry Winston, Tiffany, & Cartier), and other collectable artworks. This family-owned establishment is a museum itself, even though everything is for sale - most purchases are by museums or private collectors. Don't be intimidated to come in and take a self-guided tour. Everything is expertly curated and the staff here are all friendly & courteous. Years ago, an exceedingly kind gentleman who worked here escorted my friends and I to the fine art room. I was amazing to see such exquisite works of art by some of the greats (Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Warhol) in such an intimate setting. When I'm in town, I always stop in to see what is new and encourage others to do the same. It's fun, educational, & free.

The staff are extremely friendly, polite and welcoming and the best part is admission is free to the public! There are 3 stories of fine art, expensive jewelry, antique furnitures and timeless pieces with high end art pieces like Picasso, Monet and Norman Rockwell displayed to view up close. Did you know Frank Sinatra made art too? Yes, you'll see his many pieces. A lot of the art are priced to purchase if you have a $100k-$1M ready to burn. The vintage Tiffany jewelry and collections are incredible and stunning. This gallery is impressive and adds to the NOLA experience.
