Come to the Visitor Center at the State Botanical Garden of
Georgia Saturday morning – November 3
rd - from 10 a.m. to noon. As part
of the UGA African Studies Institute 25
th anniversary celebration,
the Garden, the
African Studies Institute and the
Georgia Museum of Art are coming together to Celebrate Africa!
At this family friendly event, visitors will have the
opportunity to explore African culture, plants, cuisine and art through an
African dance class, storytelling and much more. Children can make their own
African drum or a bracelet, learning as they have fun. Listen to a storyteller
or
drummer (none other than the
very talented Arvin Scott!) Dancers will spend time with curious children,
teaching them a few moves after the dance performance. The whole event is only
two hours long, so don’t miss a minute! Here is the schedule for Saturday:
