Think of us while you’re home! The Ethnic Arts Festival theme this year is Weddings, so bring back photos, clothing, accessories, recipes, foods, videos, and other things related to weddings in your home country.
Stop in to look at your country’s Culture Kit (a box full of good stuff) to see what we might need to represent your country well! Talk to Amy!
