SUMMER ART STUDIO
ART CLASSES
FOR CHILDREN & TEENS
Come learn new techniques in art-making with the Summer Art Studio at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
NOMA will be offering a variety of summer art classes for children and teens, which will be taught by professional art teachers.
The classes introduce participants to the Museum's collections and special exhibitions while providing students with an exciting
atmosphere of learning. In the classes, students can express their creativity using a variety of art materials. Our teachers stress
the importance of the creative process over the final product. We believe that in art there are no wrong answers!
All classes begin with a brief tour through NOMA's collections to view a series of artworks relating to each art project.
The cost of each session is $75 for members of the Museum and $90 for non-members. All materials are included, and classes
are limited to twenty students. Pre-registration and payment in advance are required. For more information and registration,
