  • Our Partner Venue: The Tigermen Den

    The Tigermen Den has the perfect blend of mysteries, comfort, marvel and functionality - creating a welcoming space that the kids are excited to return to day after day. With Clouet Gardens across the street, Marky Park a few blocks down, and Stalling Community Pool a short trip away, this location sets the stage for a camp that flows and is fun for all. The Tigermen Den supports our young artists by holding scholarship fundraising events year round.

    Built in the 1830s, the Tigermen Den is an inspiring preservation of a Creole dry goods corner store. The building had last been commercially used from 1964 to 1992 as ‘Ms Turner’s Soul Food Restaurant’ - $2.50 lunch plates were served to dock workers stationed a few blocks away on the Mississippi River. Between 1992 and 2010 the building had layers added and removed but never opened for business. In 2011 an all female local band ‘The Tigermen’ moved into the apartment upstairs and rehearsed downstairs. The band referred to the building as The Tigermen Den and the goal of becoming a community arts and events space was ignited. The barge board that was used to build the walls was taken from 300+ years old trees and was originally used as boat bottoms and to build homes all over the Bywater. Today, the Tigermen Den is used as a space to gather and to celebrate life and all its amazing journeys.

Summer Spotlight ⭐️ Aug 5 - 9: Fantasy Camp / D&D | Ages 7 - 13⁠ ⁠ The sky's the limit in Fantasy Camp! Join us as we imagine and create fantastical characters from distant realms. Students will participate in two workshops - Dungeons & Dragons and World Building. Students that choose to play D&D will be split into groups based on their experience level. In the World Building workshop, students will bring their characters to life through drawing, writing and roleplay. We will learn how to build our own armor and accessories out of poster board and cardboard. Students will craft castles and fortresses using kid-friendly cardboard cutting power tools. Students have the option to create miniatures of their D&D character using sculpture or 3d printing. We will introduce students to LARPing - Live Action Role Play. Students will have fun acting out scenarios from their D&D adventures, and will prepare a live action performance for family and friends!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ _______________________________⁠ ⁠ Art Camp 504 offers year round workshops for passionate young artists.

Summer Camp Spotlight ⭐️ July 22 - Aug 2: Culinary Arts and Set Design | Ages 9 - 13 | 2 weeks⁠ ⁠ Calling all young culinary artists for the most delicious camp of the Summer! Over two weeks we’ll transform the Tigermen Den into our very own, student-run restaurant and dinner theater, all leading up to an unforgettable dining experience for families. Campers will be split into small groups to learn Cooking 101: from kitchen safety and food prep basics to creating delicious full blown dishes from scratch. Students will have a blast role playing as everything from head chef to servers. All week long, our young chefs will not only learn recipes for the big meal on Friday, but will create and decorate to the theme (crafting menus, chef hats, center-pieces and more!) We will build out and decorate every corner of the Tigermen Den - completely transforming the space into a dinner theater experience. To cap it all off, families will be invited to join us Friday afternoon for the very exclusive opening of Nola’s hottest new restaurant, where they will be served an unforgettable three course meal!⁠ 📸 by @camillembarnett⁠ ⁠ ⁠ _______________________________⁠ ⁠ Art Camp 504 offers year round workshops for passionate young artists.

Summer Spotlight 🌟 July 8 - 12: Bywater Midsummer Mardi Gras Camp | Ages 7 - 13⁠ ⁠ Join us for the 2nd Annual Bywater Midsummer Mardi Gras - hosted by our Art Camp 504 students! At the beginning of the week, students vote on a theme and name for their Krewe and will split up into sub-krewes based on their interests. Each sub-krewe makes coordinated costumes, throws, banners and flags. We encourage campers to use recycled materials, old costume pieces, and unordinary objects to create wild shapes and structures. Join our Parade Dance Troupe, help design our bicycle floats, cook food for the concession stand, so much to do to get ready for the big day! Camp culminates in the Bywater Midsummer Mardi Gras Parade - a new event for the whole community to enjoy. The parade rolls at 6:30pm from Markey Park, come out and catch some throws!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ _______________________________⁠ ⁠ Art Camp 504 offers year round workshops for passionate young artists.
