New Orleans Tarot Card Readers:
Street performing is associated historically with the
Gypsies. Several Gypsy
fortune tellers man the
Tarot Card Reading Tables in the
French Quarter of
New Orleans. Mostly known for the
Street Art, New Orleans has many fortune tellers, street musicians, and other
street performers. Usually they perform for tips. Most are allowed to perform for free but painters are forced to get a license and sell only original paintings. Because they sell an object sales tax must be collected.
The street performers are interesting subjects for artists and I have painted some on occasion, most recognized is a group of good musicians on Royal St.
