Summer Camp

When School’s Out, We Get Creative

Exploring the Elements of Art: Summer Camp at New Orleans Museum of Art

Campers will embark on an exciting summer adventure at NOMA, exploring 5,000 years of art through our permanent collection, special exhibitions, and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. With an interdisciplinary approach to creative thinking and art-making, campers will engage in a variety of artistic mediums and activities, including drawing, painting, movement, sculpture, and more. Each camp session is unique, yet all are centered on the joy of art exploration, creation, and fun—all located conveniently within New Orleans City Park.

 

Summer Camp Details

Campers should come to camp each day with sunscreen pre-applied, a water bottle, snack, lunch, and an extra layer.

Weeklong sessions are 9 am–3 pm each day (except session 1—no camp on Friday, June 20, in observance of Juneteenth)
