Bloody Marys" (otherwise known as breakfast in a glass) and more!

Located in a former neighborhood grocery in the St. Claude Arts District of New Orleans, Staple Goods is an artist collective gallery dedicated to innovative programming of contemporary visual art by its members and invited guests from the U.S. and abroad. We believe that art is a staple of life, not a luxury.

Starling Built is a furniture and architectural metalwork design firm. We specialize in innovative design using sustainable materials and practices. Our collection of lighting, furniture, sculpture and architectural design draw inspiration from urban and natural environs. The urban landscape surrounding the studio in New Orleans’ 8th Ward influences and contextualizes our designs.

Objects become architecture as shipping crates convert to art spaces, beehives become industrial fans, and recycled magazines house migrating purple martins. Starling Built is interested in the unintended, undetected roles inherent in functional objects.

Our goal is nothing less than participating in the revitalization and transformation of the downtown neighborhoods while generating employment, promoting education and providing a space to re-imagine the role of design in urban and natural landscapes.

Restaurant with full bar, ever-evolving creative menu of fresh local food, and local art.

Hours: Wednesday 6pm - 11pm, Thursday 6pm - 1am, Saturday 10am - 3pm & 6pm - 1am, Sunday 10am - 3pm & 6pm - 11am

Like so many of the greats, The Green Project grew out of humble beginnings. In 1994, a woman by the name of Linda Stone had a collection of unused paint stored in her garage that she wanted to dispose of without harming the local ecosystem or polluting the groundwater. Finding no resource in New Orleans to do so, she solved her problem by creating her own solution. She opened a small paint-recycling center in a Mid-City warehouse.

Now 17 years later, it has evolved into the recycling hub of New Orleans that it is now. The Green Project today, located in the Bywater/St. Roch neighborhood, sells all sorts of salvaged bits and pieces - as well as many more sizeable chunks - from deconstructed buildings. Everything from lumber and bricks to nails and hinges can be purchased for the best prices around, or donated in exchange for peace of mind that your no longer needed treasures won't end up in a landfill.

We are also into spreading the love. Every Saturday morning, people come to learn how to better their lives with "greener" living.

The Green Project also serves as a drop-off for various recyclables, not the least of which is e-waste, another product many eco-conscious New Orleanians might otherwise keep in their garage collecting dust until those old computers would be bona fide antiques.

Through all of these solutions we now provide, The Green Project currently processes over 35,000 gallons of paint and diverts over 1.8 million pounds of usable materials from the waste stream every year. Not too shabby for a little neighborhood paint-recycling facility.
