NEW ORLEANS – Sandra Thompson Herman serves as the founder, president, and CEO of the Celebrate Canal! Coalition, a citizen-led initiative focused on revitalizing Canal Street in New Orleans. She established the coalition in 2024 to address key issues such as transportation, public safety, retail development, and placemaking along the historic corridor.

Presented by Celebrate Canal! in partnership with the New Orleans-based arts organization Where y’Art Works, the Windows on Canal project features larger-than-life art installations at prominent businesses including Palace Café, Rubensteins, Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, Canal Place, Ruby Slipper, and the Saenger Theater.

The Coalition also recognized the significant behind-the-scenes work of Downtown FabWorks, the local company working with New Orleans artists to fabricate the "canvases" for the art and install the exhibitions.

“This citywide public art experience has been months in the making, and we are so proud to partner with the talented teams at Where y’Art Works and Downtown FabWorks to make it happen,” said Herman.
