Join us for our annual end-of-year exhibitionβ€”celebrating the creative work our students have built alongside their Teaching Artists. This year, we’re transforming the experience into a gallery-style celebration, where students can feel truly seen and celebrated as the artists they are.

The evening begins with live music from Duo Louisiane, featuring Glenn Hartman and Washboard Chaz, and includes a special performance by students from ISL Westbank.

Taking place on GiveNOLA Day, this celebration also supports the future of our work by helping us continue to bring free, arts-based events to our community.

Tuesday, May 5th, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
KID smART Center for Arts & Education
