Community-Based Programs

After School

Teaching artists work with after-school programs to bring dynamic arts activities to children in school sites throughout the city.

Summer Camp

The 7th Ward Arts Alive! summer arts camp began in 2006 as a collaboration with a neighborhood organization, the Porch, and Xavier University, Department of Visual Arts. KID smART completed three successful 7th Ward Arts Alive! intensive arts camps. In the July 2009 camp, KID smART will be a supporting organization in collaboration with the Creative Alliance of New Orleans/Colton School.
