Curated Art Installations
& Production
Rooted in art. Experienced in the planning mindset.
At Urban Canvas Studio, we seamlessly bridge the gap between creative vision and complex urban reality. Because our practice is deeply rooted in the artistic process, we possess an intrinsic understanding of spatial scale, material durability, and creative expression. Yet, our work is entirely driven by a strict planning mindset. We treat every wall, façade, and public plaza not as an isolated project, but as a critical element within a larger neighborhood ecosystem. Whether engineering full-scale architectural building wraps that redefine city skylines or curating hyper-local mural installations that anchor neighborhood businesses, we navigate the entire journey flawlessly. We manage everything from strict structural engineering constraints and municipal zoning codes to community sentiment, ensuring every physical installation delivers deep cultural connection alongside bulletproof operational safety.
Tree of Life
Local restaurant Cocha was determined to extend its vibrant menu and energy onto the streets of downtown Baton Rouge. Faced with limited storefront real estate and a lackluster blank wall visible from inside the restaurant, creativity was essential.
Working alongside passionate business owners made this project both enjoyable and inspiring. Through several meetings and site visits, we developed a comprehensive master plan that not only enhanced their space but also effectively communicated their vision to the city.

Louisiana Key Academy
The newly constructed facade of Louisiana Key Academy faces one of Mid City's busiest streets, offering a prime canvas to raise awareness about dyslexia. In collaboration with Mid City Alliance, the academy selected our "Night Light" proposal via RFP.The design features five giant children—each over 12 feet tall—reading oversized books (over 16 feet), representing the 1 in 5 children with dyslexia. Illuminated by existing lights after sunset, they create a striking "Night Light" effect that celebrates reading and highlights the academy's curriculum.

Life-sized lettuce grows on one wall to demonstrate soil-free hydroponics, while infographics simplify the nitrogen cycle and photosynthesis equation. An underwater scene teeming with colorful fish highlights the symbiotic loop: fish waste nourishes plants via bacteria, and plants purify water for fish.

Space Man
This contemporary art piece reimagines the iconic 1960s astronaut as a commanding, life-size figure standing over six feet tall, clad in a retro-futuristic spacesuit rendered in sleek metallic silvers, bold whites, and subtle pops of period-accurate orange accents. Drawing from the Space Race era's optimism and exploration spirit, the sculpture blends hyper-realistic detail—textured helmet visor reflecting viewers, intricate glove stitching—with modern minimalist abstraction in its pose and base. Positioned as a silent sentinel, it evokes wonder, human ambition, and the timeless dream of venturing beyond Earth, inviting reflection on progress, isolation, and discovery in today's world.
