Worldview: India Gala

Sunday 3rd May was our culminating event. A gala at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. The exhibition included art created by students of Harlem Park Elementary/Middle and James Mosher Elementary, a puppet show of the Indian epic the Ramayana by students from Harlem Park who had worked with Black Cherry Puppet Theatre during their residency at the school and dance performances by students who had worked with Lakshmi Swaminathan during her recent residencies at both schools. Students, faculty, friends and families enjoyed the exhibition and performances and Indian treats of chai and naan bread provided by the  Akbar restaurant.                                         Stacie, Marnee, Sush, Morag and Lakshmi

A wonderful time was had by all. We were so pleased to see so many people come out, and some travel so far,  to support our students in spite of the rainy grey weather. It was really something special for our students to see their work in such a salubrious setting. Many patrons of the Walters who happened upon the exhibit stayed to enjoy the show. We are so proud of our students and the beautiful and creative work they have done this year.
