Tomorrow:  NKU to host 'An Afternoon with African Artists' June 26


News from NKU...

For immediate release...

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Northern Kentucky University will host "An Afternoon
with African Artists" on Sunday, June 26, from 1-4 p.m., in NKU's Ceramics
and Sculpture Studio (Campbell Drive) on the school's Highland Heights
campus. The event is free and open to the public.

The afternoon's events will include exhibits and demonstrations by authentic
West African artisans and the American teachers from around the U.S. who
have been working with them for one week. Guests will see authentic
traditional bronze casting, kente cloth weaving, glass bead making, pottery
and adinkra stamping.

A note to parents: there will be open fires, open kilns and molten bronze
and glass. While there will be no need to get close to these fires, parents
should be cautious with small children. The event may not be suitable for
active toddlers.

"An Afternoon with African Artists" is sponsored by the National Endowment
for the Arts, NKU and Hutchinson Community College.
