On site visits are currently Educational programming in the Music Box Village is one of the many ways that New Orleans Airlift works to fulfill its mission to collaborate to inspire wonder, connect communities, and foster opportunities through the creation of experimental public artworks.

Our one-of-a-kind, interactive site consists of 12+ installations of ‘musical architecture’ and gives rise to multidisciplinary lessons in art, design, music, STEM, fabrication, and more. We host field trips at our site throughout the year, working with teachers to determine class-specific learning goals. Studio classes and camps are offered seasonally. Customizable Project-based opportunities with our collaborating artists & installations are also available.
