Over the past 15 years Casey has launched multiple entertainment companies in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Steamboat Springs, CO. Currently Casey serves as the Executive Director for the non-profit, public art organization The BR Walls Project which he began in 2011. By injecting momentum into the Baton Rouge creative community The Walls Project has rallied artists, activists, and entrepreneurs to participate in public arts projects across the city. Through his “Entrepreneurial Activism” approach, Casey enables highly motivated individuals and organizations to be catalysts for cultural and social change in their communities. As a proponent of the principles of creative placemaking and smart growth Casey utilizes his 15+ years of branding and community organization experience to help transform the social and physical landscape of the new urban South through the arts. "Such a thoughtful interview by these 2 gents, possibly the best I've ever experienced." —Casey Phillips
