For years, a vibrant Bob Marley mural graced the walls of Cafe Negril on Frenchmen Street — the heart of New Orleans’ live music scene. It wasn’t just decoration. It was a landmark, a meeting point, a piece of the city’s soul.

When required fireproofing work covered the original mural, the community felt its absence deeply. Now, we’re bringing it back — with the original artist, Dwayne Conrad, leading the recreation.

This isn’t just about paint on a wall. It’s about preserving culture, honoring artistry, and keeping the spirit of music alive in the place where it matters most.

The Original Artist Returns

Dwayne Conrad, the artist who created the original mural, is returning to bring Bob back to life. Every brushstroke will carry the same passion and authenticity that made the first mural iconic.

Your support ensures proper wall preparation, quality materials, and protective finishes that will keep this mural vibrant for years to come.

Help bring Bob back to Frenchmen Street. Your pledge — no matter the size — helps preserve a beloved piece of New Orleans culture for generations to come.
