African American Art Festival February 3, 2007

Dance! Drum! Sing! Rejoice! In recognition of African American Heritage Month, the STAR ECO Station presents its seventh-annual African American Art Festival on Saturday, Feb. 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This compelling, culturally-rich family celebration features everything from traditional African dance and music to contemporary creative works by established and emerging visual artists and performers. The festival pays homage to inspirational, creative leaders in our community and spotlights new and rising young talent!

We have also set a goal of establishing a new Guinness World Record for “Largest Children’s Drum Circle” during the African American Art Festival. Bring a drum and help us make history!

This FREE outdoor event includes: Live Music • Dance Performances • Paintings • Sculpture • Ceramics • Jewelry • World-Class Capoeira • Food • Vendors • Crafts • Games and so much more!

Tours are $6 for children (16 and under), $7 for seniors (65 and over) and $8 for adults. The last tour leaves at 3:00 p.m.!
