The second of four presentations of the Folk and Traditional Arts Events will take place Saturday, July 15, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Creative Discovery Museum, 321 Chestnut St.
The series allows children and their families to experience a diverse array of art and music from different cultures presented by local and regional talent. Saturday’s spotlight will be on African and African-American cultures.
“These events provide authentic, hands-on experiences that demonstrate how art brings all cultures together despite our differences,” says Liza Blair, CDM arts manager.
Many of the performances will allow children to interact with the artists and encourage audience participation.
Funding for the festival is provided through grant support from the Tennessee Arts Commission and ArtsBuild. The performances are included with regular museum admission of $13.95. Local police and firefighters with ID are free; military personnel with ID are $9.95.
