So here we are with a GoFundMe. We are also hoping to raise at least $2000 to cover maintenance and insurance for 2025. Any amount you’re able to throw our way is enthusiastically appreciated!

OUR EPIC JOURNEY to save Plant Zanzibrax from @IGRAC the greedy realtors has begun! This film was written, directed, and filmed by Art Camp 504 students during Fall Break 2024: Space Launch Research and Astronaut Training. On a far away planet called Zanzibrax, there lived a famous rock star named Ziggy Stardust King of Karnage. He was the leader of a band called The Kings of Karnage and was known throughout the galaxy for his amazing music and unique, lightning-shaped face marking! Ziggy was born with a condition called hip dysplasia. He has been taking medication for the pain, but in order to finally heal he had to travel to a faraway place called Earth for a special surgery. Lucky for Ziggy, he has his trusty sidekick Princess Supernova, a real life princess, along for this adventure. She is known for being a little mischievous… One day, while exploring Ziggy’s spaceship, she was looking for a high spot to perch when suddenly— The ship blasted off!  Now that he’s on Earth, Ziggy has an important job as a camp counselor at Art Camp 504 in New Orleans. He takes his job very seriously, enjoying endless attention and adoration. Princess Supernova also comes to Art Camp, but she doesn’t work. Not long after landing on Earth, Ziggy Stardust formed a cutting edge punk rock band called Freddie and the Chins. The band members are Freddie, Ziggy, Princess Supernova, Sookie, Pop Tart, and Remi. They’re working hard on their very first album! But all is not well back on Zanzibrax. The planet has long struggled under the heavy interest rates imposed by the dreaded IGRAC. Now, these greedy realtors are plotting to sell Zanzibrax once and for all. Ziggy won’t stand for it! Determined to protect his homeland, he prepares to rally his friends and stand against the Intergalactic Association of Realtors. This is Planet Zanzibrax’s last chance to buy their planet back from the galaxy’s most evil realtors! The most famous rock band ever, The Kings of Karnage, is getting back together for the biggest benefit concert the universe has ever seen! Ziggy’s bringing  his whole band, Freddie and the Chins, and his trusty Stardust Space Crew are coming along for the ride! 🚀

This Fall Break, we began the first part of our journey to space: Research & Astronaut Training. Our crew’s Navigation Dept traveled to the edges of the universe (via top secret magical crystal) to pull information about the planets and life forms we may encounter on our journey. What is Ziggy Stardusts’s home planet like? And… where did Princess Supernova come from? The Engineering Dept constructed model rockets and launched them into space (vinegar and baking soda!) Our Communications Dept constructed the Command Center and released the first official video message from our base. And our Life Support and Habitability Dept team began exploring nutrition options for our journey… by cooking astronaut ice cream, and meteor meat balls with Venusian lava sauce, yum!! JOIN OUR SPACE CREW 🚀 Special thanks to @thegreenproject for donating a space station full of building supplies - we love creating with recycled materials! The next stop on our journey is Thanksgiving, when the 3 day portal to Planet Zanzibrax opens at the Tigermen Den - and our students get to participate in the Alien Horse Races! Join Stardust Space Crew 24-25 and help us save Ziggy’s home planet from the evil realtors! _______________________________⁠ ⁠ Art Camp 504 offers year round workshops for passionate young artists.

Oct 14-18 at @the_tigermen_den ages 7-14, 8:30-3:30, aftercare until 5:30.

They provide our pool transportation during Summer Camp. Mr. Darrel ALSO has a business printing shirts and hats using DTF transfer - and he’s bringing his machinery to camp next week so the students can learn how to design and press the shirts! DTF printing is a process of printing designs onto a special film and then transferring them onto various substrates. The film is covered in thermo-adhesive power and then transferred with a heat press to the final substrate. We’ll be printing shirts next Monday and Tuesday. Don’t worry if you’re missing out - he will be back for upcoming Holiday Camps and Summer Camp!

UPDATE: Ziggy’s surgery went well! This is Sam writing, Director of Art Camp 504. Ziggy was raised by our students, attending his first camp in 2022 at just 12 weeks old. Art Camp is his favorite place in the world, he greets each child with the utmost enthusiasm and he NEVER gets tired of chasing the squeaker. I brought him to the vet last year concerned about his grumpiness and biting. The x-ray showed a severe case of hip dysplasia, causing significant chronic pain. His hip joints don’t fit together properly, creating inflammation and soreness. He’s been on a strong cocktail of medicine this past year for pain management. Hip dysplasia is more common in larger, older dogs. However since he is small and young, the best option for his long term health is surgery. The surgery shaves the leg bone where it intercepts with the hips, removing the friction and giving him full range of motion. My partner Christophe’s parents are veterinary surgeons and have a clinic in Rainier, Oregon. His mother has been practicing for nearly 40 years and is a highly gifted surgeon; we were very excited to have her perform the surgery. After Summer Camp, we drove Ziggy Stardust and Princess Supernova from New Orleans to Oregon. Dr. Taylor removed the problem part of the bone (I’m bringing it back to Nola to show the kids!) and he is now healing in the beautiful forests of Oregon. The first day home he slept and couldn’t figure out how to walk. The second day, he was suddenly waddling around and even tried to run up the hill… he’s very determined to be chasing the squeaker again! Ziggy is going to return to Oregon around Thanksgiving for the second hip, and will stay a few weeks to recover. We are VERY excited to celebrate Ziggy’s full recovery at the end of Winter Camp - when we send him back to space for the big reunion show! It has been a long journey for Ziggy, and a great learning experience for the kids. He has taught the kids patience and boundaries, as well as endless joy and a bit of biology. Thank you Lynn Taylor and Valley Vet for taking such good care of our little gremlin astronaut. We’ll see yall soon! 🚀
