African-American
Arts Festival

July 4, 2009

Last February, Victoria Theatre Association presented its first African-American Arts Festival. The month-long celebration was such a community success, a second festival has just been announced – and this time the events are spread throughout the entire arts season.

With the month-long art exhibit Visual Voices in February 2009 as the centerpiece, Victoria Theatre Association’s 2008-2009 African-American Arts Festival features an array of performances, events and exhibits – all celebrating the rich and diverse cultures of not only the continent of Africa, but also African-Americans.

Festival Sponsor: KeyBank

The festival features the fifth annual Visual Voices art exhibition in the Wintergarden of the Schuster Center, as well as performances, both musical and theatrical, including:
