Downtown Gallery Crawl

Jessi Carter Creative presents... Welcoming Windows!

Jessi Carter is a self-taught artist, wife, and mom of four. Through her business, Jessi Carter Creative, she creates joyful murals and painted windows for schools, churches, and businesses throughout North Louisiana. What began as painting windows for her children’s elementary school has grown into a career centered around creativity, connection, and creating spaces that bring people together.

Supported by the Herons on the Bayou grant program and The Junior League of Monroe, Jessi’s project, Welcoming Windows, will partner with schools across Ouachita Parish to create colorful window artwork designed to celebrate each school’s unique spirit. In addition to the artwork, students will have opportunities to share their creativity through an art contest and participate in the painting process, making each installation a community collaboration.

By combining art with student involvement, Jessi hopes to cultivate joy, strengthen school pride, and create welcoming spaces that remind students, teachers, and staff that they are part of something special.

See y'all next Crawl! 👋🏼
