“With support from the California Arts Council, Healing Rhythms will host a four day Kwanzaa celebration in North Palm Springs in 2024. Grant funds will be used to pay for the rental of an accessible venue, provide food and drinks, Kwanzaa decorations, and culturally education games and activities for children and families. Traditional artists will be engaged to perform and teach, fostering cultural exchange and empowering participants to express themselves creatively. The Kwanzaa celebration aims to enhance community resilience and unity and foster a sense of belonging and connection among the community. Through this initiative, Healing Rhythms seeks to promote healing and empower individuals through the transformative power of the arts.
