Rooted in the unique Mardi Gras culture of New Orleans, Kern Studios is the go-to company for creative props and spectacular parades. We build over 400 floats each year, yet the process never gets ‘old’ for us. It’s our mission to bring beauty and joy to the world through our work, and we simply love what we do!
Creativity first
Kern Studios was founded by artists, who were driven by their creativity and a passion to express themselves. The focus on creativity is still a major part of our DNA, but it isn’t limited to artistic expression. It extends to all aspects of our business. We never say ‘no’ to any project. Rather, we devise the ‘how.’
Perpetual pioneers
Our pioneering spirit has driven us to seek new challenges since the 1930’s. Our curiosity for new projects and technologies has enabled us to do many large-scaled, out-of-the-ordinary productions, both nationally and internationally. With more than 80 years experience, we’re confident that if you are looking for something ‘crazy’ done well, we’re the ones to talk to.
Results through resourcefulness
We deliver. Always. Kern Studios truly represents the perfect marriage of artistic imagination and business discipline. And that’s why clients like Universal Studios, Disney and Six Flags know they can count on us, year after year.
