Cost: FREE!
Ages 7–10
Young artists meet each Thursday from 4:15–5:45 PM to explore a variety of art projects and crafts while also sampling other LAYAYA departments such as Culinary Arts, Weird Science, and Performing Arts. This session encourages creativity, curiosity, and discovery across disciplines.
Ages 11–17
Teen artists meet each Friday from 4:15–5:45 PM to work on a mix of individual projects, group collaborations, and community art projects. This class offers a strong balance between structured instruction in art fundamentals and independent, individualized creative work.
A select number of students from the 11–17 age group will be invited to participate in our summer “Artrepreneur Program”, where young artists learn the basics of producing, presenting, and selling their own artwork.

Successful students would be able to work well in a group setting while following instructions. Groups are divided by age and skill level. Each group has limited space available. The most important requirement is a commitment to attend the weekly sessions, stay on task to finish projects and a willingness to learn and develop new art skills while having fun and making new friends!
We are excited to partner with Plaquemines Parish Dept. of Arts, Parks & Recreation to offer this 3 month session at no charge to our students! While there is no financial investment, do ask that students attend regularly and take full advantage of the program while in class.
