Grand Marais Public Library invites the public to a free, all-ages performance of Afoutayi Dance on Friday, June 24 at 10:30 AM at Cook County Higher Education. COMPAS Teaching Artists Afoutayi Dance, Music & Arts are dedicated to promoting knowledge and understanding of Haitian culture, history and traditional arts. They provide an hour of dance, Creole and French language music, drumming, storytelling, and education. Dancers engage in a playful, spontaneous interchange with the audience. Everyone is welcome to join the fun.
Grand Marais Public Library extends thanks to CCHE for partnering on this program. Sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, it was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACFH) and by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the ACHF.
