The Studio School is a proprietary school, located in ArtEgg
Studios, 1001 South Broad Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.
ArtEgg Studios
is a 50,000 square foot, former produce warehouse that has been
converted to working studios for artists, collectors, museums.
An urban creative arts center, ArtEgg
Studios has more than 30 tenants representing the rich diversity
of the arts.
There is a Design Lab which is available for students and provides
internet access, state-of the art equipment for photographic and
digital documentation. Classes are held in the Studio School multimedia
classroom which holds a maximum of 24 students. There is a kitchen,
art library and access to a major and growing collection of ethnographic

ArtEgg Studios.
The value of the Foundation's collection is approximately $400,000.
After completing Level I courses, students will be prepared to
work on designated teaching collections from this rich and varied
corpus of art. Field placements will be organized with cooperating
institutions such as the New
Orleans African American Art Museum, Crescent
Gallery, the Ogden
Museum, the New
Orleans Museum of Art, the Arts
Council of New Orleans, the Conservation Studio of Richard
White, No-Ox Fumigation Services, Kenneth Jay Linsners' Conservation

There are individual painters, collectors, set builders, conservators,
woodworkers and glassblowers who have working studios in ArtEgg.
These professional artists will be the mentors for Level II courses
and several studios will be available as venues for Level III
internships.
