WHAT: Unveiling of plans for "Life in the French Quarter" the newest Stephan Wanger Bead Town project with Hotel Monteleone set to break the Guinness world record for the largest bead mosaic Summer 2015.


WHY: The latest Stephan Wanger Bead Town project, "Life in the French Quarter" is created in partnership with Hotel Monteleone. Given the large scope of this project, "Life in the French Quarter" is projected to break the Guinness World Record for the largest bead mosaic, while raising awareness about the sustainable use of resources through display of life in New Orleans.

Since 2007, Stephan Wanger has been creating larger than life mosaic art pieces that embrace a photo-realistic style from recycled Mardi Gras beads and other recycled materials. In an effort to continue spreading a message about the sustainable use of resources through the display of beautiful Louisiana landmarks, Stephan Wanger launched Bead Town in 2011. Bead Town is a compendium of artworks, classes, and exhibits of more than 100 mosaic pieces that has grown from the collective endeavors of schools and volunteers from across Louisiana.

Note: Validated parking available in Bienville St. garage
