Culture Feast 2025: Summer Treats for Mind and Body!
In partnership with the Missoula Foodbank, Arts Missoula was thrilled to present an enriching summer program tailored for children in low-income neighborhoods. As participants enjoy a nutritious lunch provided by the Foodbank, they embarked on a journey of cultural discovery led by our talented instructors, Elisha Harties, Donna Flanery, Kaitlynn Radloff and Taylor Stein.
This year will feature puppetry, clay, print making and self portraits. Children will also receive an art kit to continue their arts exploration in between class sessions. Class begin in mid June and run through the end of August.
Cultural education is not just about learning facts or traditions; it’s about fostering empathy, understanding, and appreciation for diverse perspectives. In today’s interconnected world, it’s crucial for young people to develop cultural competence and a sense of global citizenship. By immersing children in art, dance, and storytelling, we not only ignite their curiosity and creativity but also cultivate respect for diversity. Through ‘Culture Feast,’ we aim to empower young learners with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate an increasingly diverse society, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion for all.
Many thanks to the Good Food Store and Town Pump Foundation for supporting this years Cultural Feast!
