:ArtReach

ArtReach is a compilation of programs that are entertaining, educational and make the arts accessible. The ArtReach program is reflective of one of the National Black Arts Festivals' new objectives- bringing the African heritage to the forefront of our communities - be it The City of Atlanta, Fulton County, the State of Georgia or any other community - and celebrating our African heritage through art! ArtReach programs are administered by NBAF Program Coordinator Charmaine Minniefield (404-730-0176) and include:
