Upturn Arts is a New Orleans–based nonprofit in the performing arts that provides after-school, summer, and holiday programs for children. The organization offers on- and off-site arts education across disciplines such as dance, music, theater, improvisation, creative writing, drumming, and yoga, aiming to build self-esteem and creative expression in young participants. Its target audience includes children from the New Orleans community, with a sliding-scale fee model and an open-door approach that welcomes all students without auditions, including a substantial portion who receive free or low-cost arts education. Upturn Arts positions itself as an accessible provider of arts enrichment that connects participants to local cultural heritage while developing problem-solving and creative thinking skills. The program evolved from Hope Stone NOLA, achieving 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in 2014, and continues to partner with schools and community centers to extend its reach across the city.
