INTERN WITH ART CAMP 504:

Art Camp 504 is a 501(c)3 non-profit that offers advanced art workshops for students of all income levels. We are located in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans and serve ages 7 - 14. We empower students to lead their own creative journey through choice and exploration, guided by professional artists.

Our internship program is a great opportunity for students and young professionals interested in a career in the visual & performing arts, nonprofit work or art education. Interns learn valuable professional skills in a fun, creative work environment. Build your classroom management skills and your understanding of child development - our program is heavily inspired by Waldorf and Montessori teaching methods.

Interns are responsible for planning one lesson per week. You will work with our curriculum director to plan a 45 - 60 minute lesson for a group of 5 - 8 students. We will order your materials and guide you through the process.

We recommend applying early, this is a competitive program and we accept three interns per camp week.
