IT’S LIT: Big Class’s Mobile Youth Writing Center Debuts!
We’re so excited to announce the completion of IT’S LIT: Words on Ice!
Made in collaboration with the Arts Council of New Orleans and students from The NET Charter High School, It’s LIT! recently made its grand debut at the Art + Place forum at studioBE.
It’s LIT! was born through a paid 6-week design internship with 4 students from The NET. This project challenged students to think critically about the environments that they and their peers occupy and come up with a design that provided a safe space for New Orleans youth to come together and be creative (not to mention enjoy a sno ball).
It’s LIT will be making appearances at events throughout the school year as a mobile writing center/workshop space — bringing creative writing opportunities to youth around the city. Stay tuned with the Big Class blog and newsletter for updates!
Photo and Phiction Exhibition
On Thursday, July 28th, we finished our Photo and Phiction summer workshop series with a exhibition of student work in the Teen Room of the Norman Mayer Library. Young writers brought family and friends to see their beautiful photos and writing proudly displayed on the library walls and celebrate their creativity.

Big Class and Tulane City Center Partner for Writers’ Room Redesign
Big Class is excited to begin a collaborative project with the Tulane City Center to redesign and renovate the Writer’s Room at Sylvanie Williams College Prep.
The Writers’ Room acts as a space for students in 1st to 7th grade to be creative, work with volunteers, and ultimately publish a book of student work.
We can’t wait to get to work with the City Center and create an even more wonderful Writer’s Room.
