​The Journey

This new program will focus on celebrating the elders of our community. They are certainly a rich resource to us, and honoring them and the stories of their lives and how they evolved with the community, can only enhance our rich, diverse neighborhood surrounding Washington Park. Our focus will be on documenting their evolving stories as they pertain to the park. Music and art activities will be intertwined into this program.

This new program organically evolved from showcasing a visiting renowned artist from Cuba in the Riverview Arts District October 2016. As a result of his sharing his life story, the people who experienced this had only wonderful comments regarding his special journey and were eager to hear more stories from other elders. What better way than to document this history of where we live than using the oral story tradition combined with the modern technology of video!
