Have You Ever Heard Of NOCCA (New Orleans Center for Creative Arts) or the Art & Soul Gala?
It is the public performing and visual arts high school for the State of Louisiana that opened in 1973 as a professional arts training center for secondary school-age children. This school nurtures young adults to live their dreams whether they are in art, culinary, or even theater. Admission to NOCCA’s tuition-free programs is by audition only. The Art & Soul Gala helps to provide more resources to these talented kids.
