KID smART is on a mission to engage children and educators in dynamic, creative, and relevant learning through the arts! With the belief that the power of the arts should be available to ALL New Orleans children, KID smART works within public schools to reach underserved children with the most to gain from an arts-rich, social-emotional education.
Program Goals
KID smART envisions building a comprehensive center for arts education serving the New Orleans area. In its 22-year history, KID smART has served more than 32,000 students and 5,000 teachers in schools throughout New Orleans. The center will realize and expand KID smART's mission by providing a landmark space for arts integration that serves students, educators, artists, and community members. Programming will include multidisciplinary afterschool classes and summer camp for youth, Creative Aging, and multigenerational arts classes, professional development workshops for educators and teaching artists, and a headquarters for KID smART’s Creative Schools program.
