Enjoy a morning of arts and resiliency with your family. The Cameron Art Museum, New Hanover County Resiliency Task Force and other area organizations come together to offer a wide variety of art projects, performances, and interactive collaborations to learn about the resiliency of individuals and our community. We will also host community tables that will provide information about community organizations and the resources they offer.
Dance, make music, and create art to build resilience. All ages welcome.
All children in attendance will receive free copies of the books Letters From Bear and Bright Star (while supplies last), through our partnership with NEA’s Big Read.
