Freeport-McMoRan's "Artists For a Day"

Research has shown that learners can attain higher levels of achievement through their exposure to the arts. Freeport-McMoRan's "Artists For a Day" program helps to foster arts education for elementary, middle school and high school students.

"Artists For a Day" is an outstanding field trip opportunity available for school groups and youth organizations. During each AFD, students encounter an exciting journey through the Contemporary Arts Center as "artists for a day" while learning from professional New Orleans artists. Skills learned during the classes in drama, dance, music, visual arts and creative writing can be integrated into core subjects of math, science, language and social studies or students can just experience the fun of learning something new. All participants come away with a sense of accomplishment and newly discovered skills.

Field trip hours are from 9:30am to 1:00pm, though this is flexible. Participants are asked to bring a lunch to eat on the premises. The cost is $6 per student.
