Streetcar Art

The YLC held its Streetcar Named Inspire reveal party tonight at the Hilton. Spirits were high at Spirits, the Hilton’s hip bar. Good eats were served, and we got some pictures of the first cars out on the block.

That’s New Orleans artist Reggie Ford and girlfriend Kerri Jones. Reggie’s streetcar, Reflections of the City, is sponsored by the Hilton and is shown at its future home in the front of Spirits. One of Reggie’s paintings also hangs nearby behind the concierge’s desk in the lobby. Reggie’s work can also be seen at the Dutch Alley Artist’s Co-op, and online at ReggieArt.com.

Also spotted was Lori Gomez’s streetcar, the first placed outdoors, on Fulton Street outside of the new Ruth’s Chris restaurant at the Harrah’s hotel.

Lori’s streetcar celebrates women chefs. Later in the evening it served well as a setting for a second line celebration.
