Our dear friends and artistic collaborators, Jacques and Whitney were just in Brooklyn for their annual visit! Their trip to Brooklyn is always a highlight of the year–full of creativity and fun–when they trek from New Orleans to bring their fresh ideas, collaborative spirit, and that essential touch of magic to our Park Slope space. Both Jacques and Whitney live and create full time in New Orleans, working largely behind-the-scenes to bring our puppets and productions to life. Do you remember our *incoming message from Jacques cell phone* series from our Doomscrolling pre-production? You never know what these two have in the works, and wait until you see what they came up with for our spooky season window display!
At Leroy’s Place, it’s very important to us that we source all our materials sustainably. Jacques and Whitney share our commitment to environmental responsibility, and their work is a testament to the power of repurposing: turning the ordinary into the extraordinary! From our smallest monster friend to our full length puppetry production we work with up-cycled materials throughout.
Stay tuned for more updates on our creative adventures. We adore creating these displays for the neighborhood. Stop by to celebrate the ingenuity and artistry of Jacques and Whitney. It’s truly something special! Make sure to follow us on social media to see more of their creations in real time, and visit our store to see the magic firsthand.
Here’s to another year of collaboration, creativity, and community at Leroy’s Place!
