Discover the Secrets of the Gourdiverse
with Music, Art & Fun @ The Gourd Palace
“GROW ART – GROW COMMUNITY”
an art & effects festival
Sure, you’ve seen birds hanging out in gourd bird houses. And maybe you’ve even drunk from a gourd dipper or stored tchotchkes in an artsy gourd container….
But have you ever danced to a gourd guitar/banjo combo or grooved to a gourd flute?
…Nibbled grilled gourd slices under the buttresses of a living gourd palace?
…Turned the kids loose to make gourd art and watch a gourd puppet show?
…Or discovered the mysteries and history of gourds around the globe?
If not – you’ve been gourdeprived!
The Gourd Palace at CCBC has produced a bumper crop and its time as a living sculpture/organic art installation is running out – so we’re saying goodbye with the wildest multicultural eco-social extravaganza in the gourdiverse.
Come and join the local and global community as we celebrate the turning of the seasons and the gathering of a gourdelicious harvest!
