For more than 26 years, KID smART has transformed learning through the arts. Since 1999, we've partnered with schools, educators, artists, and families across Greater New Orleans to ensure every child has access to creative, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences.
Today, with the opening of the KID smART Center for Arts & Education, we're expanding that mission beyond the classroom—offering classes, workshops, exhibitions, and community programs that inspire creativity for learners of all ages.
