Hope Stone campers perform

Culture Watch columnist Sharon Litwin recently wrote about Hope Stone Performing Arts Camp. Now, young artists in the program and planning to showcase what they have learned in a final performance at NOLA Spaces.

Led by Hope Stone Kids Director Dana Reed and Nathalie Gomes Adams, owner of NOLA Spaces, the summer program will culminate in a multitude of art: an original theater piece, a partner dancing medley, a modern dance performance, live music, African drumming, singing, a student film screening, and a gallery exhibit of the students’ work. Students will lead viewers through World’s Fairs of the past to explore diversity in art and culture.

The performance takes place at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 18, at NOLA Spaces, 1719 Toledano St. Tickets are $5 (suggested donation) and can be purchased on-site.
