BEST FEST

  • KID smART 2533 Columbus Street New Orleans, LA, 70119 United States (map)

Join us for our annual end-of-year exhibition—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 free celebration also supports the future of our work by helping us continue to bring no-cost, arts-based events to our community.

BEST FEST is proudly supported by New Orleans Tourism and Culture Fund.
