Joyful! A Celebration of Black History Month

Join us at Brushwood Center for a celebration of music and food in honor of Black History Month.

Angela Walker, a U.S. Navy Veteran and jazz vocalist, curates a musical afternoon sharing  examples of the cultural contributions of African Americans in both the past and present. The afternoon will be filled with dance, drama, multimedia, and music.

Audiences also have the option of spending the hour prior to the performance in our renovated culinary studio with Jeff Williams from From Hood to Table as he cooks up a wonderful workshop that covers the history of Black farming and cuisine while also teaching how to make some Soul Food recipes that can be enjoyed during the performance.

Come warm your body and soul with this unique program this February!
