Experience NOCCA
The key to NOCCA’s success is the ethic of discipline and responsibility it instills in students, which prepares them for productive adult lives whether or not they choose to pursue art careers. Creativity requires exploration, evaluation, knowledge, discipline and risk-taking. In turn, it embodies resilience, problem solving skills and a trust in the process of discovery that enables innovation.
The Experience NOCCA workshop series provides opportunities for young aspiring artists to prepare for and experience a taste of conservatory arts education in each of the 10 art disciplines offered at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, NOCCA, Louisiana’s High School Arts Conservatory – Classical Instrumental Music, Creative Writing, Culinary Arts, Dance, Drama, Entertainment Production Design, Jazz Instrumental Music, Media Arts, Theatre Arts (Drama & Musical Theatre), Visual Arts and Vocal Music.
All workshops offerings are non-credit bearing and held from 4-5:30pm. Students must be able to attend each and every class meeting. Visit the Experience NOCCA site for the most updated offerings! Click Here
