Bring out your child’s inner artist with our year-round creative art workshops! Our unique program offers fun and engaging art classes for kids and teens in New Orleans and all over the world.
During the summer, our camp schedule includes morning and afternoon classes, as well as exciting walking trips to Markey Park and Clouet Gardens. We also swim twice a week at Stalling Pool. With a small class size of 24 students, and a 1/6 student/teacher ratio, your child will benefit from individualized attention and instruction. All materials, field trips, and transportation are included in the tuition, as well as Friday Pizza Parties!
At the end of each session, students will have the opportunity to showcase their work in a final presentation to family and friends. With our creative art workshops, your child will gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment, and have lots of fun, too!
This Creative Writing and Illustration class will be a week-long experience where students will learn the basics of story-structure–plot, setting, and character–and will take a fairy or folk tale of their choosing and rewrite it to match their own imaginings! We will use the basic structure of fairy and folk tales to gain inspiration and then craft our own unique stories with our own unique characters. To complement this work, we will also create a beautiful bound and illuminated project that can be cherished for years to come–that’s right, friends, we’ll be making our own books!

Parade Camp
Mardi Gras comes early for our Parade Camp kids! In this workshop, students learn about the different ways carnival is celebrated in New Orleans and around the world and create their own parade. At the beginning of the week, students vote on a theme and name for their Krewe. Students then split up into sub-krewes based on their interests. Each sub-krewe makes coordinated costumes, throws and banners.

Toy Design Expo
The only thing more fun than playing with toys is designing them! In this crafty session students will challenge themselves to create fun, durable and unique toys using a variety of art supplies and exotic found objects. We will make puppets, action figures and dolls, trading cards, paper planes and origami, and stuffed animals. Every afternoon we will “test” the toys through organized play sessions - and a paper airplane flight competition!
