The afternoon program will include award winning photographer, Jason Miccolo Johnson, author, Natalie Hopkinson, artist, Sylvia Jackson, classical vocalist, Dimery Mowery, story-teller, Jennifer Ashburn, and musicians James McKinnery and Will Smith. Importantly, several of the participants in the program have roots in the surrounding community. St. George's was asked to partner with these indigenous community organizations on this project because of the welcoming spirit St. George's exhibits and the outreach it continues to extend to the residents of the neighborhood. --- Bloomimgdale and Bates Civic Association Presidents: Cassandra Costley, and James Berry, respectively.
