The Louisiana City of Murals
Rayne has the distinction of being designated the official “Louisiana City of Murals”. And BOY DO THEY have murals! Being an artist, I love visting places like this… and I spent a good amount of time just going through town checking out the amazing art. The formal designation is the result of a cooperative effort between the City of Rayne and a group of citizens who formed the Rayne Beautification Board. The Board commissioned Robert Dafford, an internationally renowned muralist, to decorate the blank brick walls of buildings in the town with renderings of the town's history and its claim to fame--frogs! So many frogs… one after another. Check out just some of the murals I was able to capture while doing my own walking tour (before my camera battery died).
