Ogden Museum Summer Camps

Engaging young artists in New Orleans since 2009!

Through a series of small, specialized camps, kids in grades 2 through 12 can explore fashion design, photography, painting, printmaking, puppetry, mixed media and more! Each session draws inspiration from Southern works of art and gives campers the chance to learn from professional artists in a unique museum setting. In celebration of each session, family and friends are invited to a final show or gallery exhibition, showcasing camper artwork. Space is limited, register today to reserve your camper’s spot!

*Ogden Museum Camps are sponsored in part by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation, Inc.
