The House Resolution commends KID smART for its selection to lead the Bloomberg Arts Internship Program in New Orleans. Founded in 1999 by artists Campbell Hutchinson and Allison Stewart, KID smART aims to enhance access to arts education for public school students, particularly those from underserved backgrounds. Over its 25-year history, the organization has positively impacted over 60,000 students and 11,000 teachers, promoting a creative and socially-emotional learning environment.

The resolution highlights KID smART's significant contributions to the educational landscape in New Orleans and recognizes its leadership role in the Bloomberg Arts Internship Program, which will benefit rising high school seniors this summer. By being chosen as one of the two new cities to expand this national initiative, KID smART is acknowledged for its ongoing commitment to improving arts education access, and the resolution expresses gratitude for its efforts in empowering students through the arts.
