For a decade, Newtral Groundz has been producing cultural work that puts New Orleans first.
Now, for our 10th anniversary, we’re launching the New Orleans Culture Fund, a commitment to produce cultural work while keeping ownership and economic in New Orleans
🎬 Documentary Productions Feature-length films documenting New Orleans culture with permanence, including the Storyville Documentary and Jazz Bounce Docuseries
🎵 Music Albums & Releases Jazz Bounce albums and artist development that build a catalog generating long-term revenue for New Orleans artists
🎭 Live Shows & ExperiencesJazz Bounce Lounges and cultural events that celebrate New Orleans’ musical heritage where jazz elegance meets bounce energy
New Orleans culture has been exploited for generations. Jazz artists, bounce artists, and cultural workers have created billions of dollars in value, but rarely see that money come back to them.
The New Orleans Culture Fund is different.
Upcoming Projects
Jazz Bounce The Docuseries
A docuseries that follows how Jazz Bounce evolved from a digital comic book world into a live movement, and how the artists, the culture, and the systems behind it reclaim ownership of a sound that's been exploited for generations.
Storyville: A Feature-Length Documentary
A museum-grade documentary centered on Storyville as America's first red-light district, exploring its place in the lineage of American music, nightlife, and cultural identity.
All funds go directly to producing documentaries, music albums, and live shows, with priority on paying New Orleans artists, crew, and cultural workers.
