2013 SUMMER ART CAMPS

George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts (GRFA) summer art camps are designed to inspire students to create and develop their own unique artistic style while exposing them to a wide variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. Each class explores age-appropriate elements of art and focuses on building a strong foundation in creative design. In many classes, children study the work of contemporary artists as a springboard for projects and integrate core subject areas into the visual arts.

GRFA offers summer art camps each summer for ages 3-17. Classes are held in the George Rodrigue Foundation Education Center at 747 Magazine Street in New Orleans. All camps are from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

Registration is taken on a first-come, first-served basis and payment is required to reserve a space. Cancellations must be received three days prior to the first day of the camp in order to qualify for a refund. 

Online registration is now open for the 2013 Art Camps. Cost for each child is $150 which includes all supplies and snacks. Please see the schedule below and click the registration link to access the registration form.  Please note that space is limited; we encourage you to book early!
