Thursday, October 22, 2009 - Saturday, October 24, 2009

Intermedia Arts is proud to have been the first national host site for The America Project: Singing the Legacy of Sekou Sundiata, a series of community events including Art Treats lunches, citizenship dinners, a film screening, potluck dinner and community sing, all designed to inspire and ignite our passionate ideals around citizenry, civic work, and active engagement in civic life. Together we use art, music, conversation and laughter to discuss what it means to be an American today, and to dream about what it could mean in the future.
