The 2010 Asante Festival is Here!!

Get ready New Orleans! The 2010 Asante Festival is right around the corn er. It will be held Friday, June 25, 2010 at the Audubon Zoo located at 6500 Magazine Street New Orleans, LA. 70118. The festival will begin at 10:00 am and end at 6:00 pm. The Festival will showcase poets, musicians, artist, local pioneers.

Asante Awards Festival is a celebration of the pinnacles of the African descendant’s creativity. It was formed out of the desire to celebrate the contributions that many (local-New Orleans) artists have made with little to no recognition, by acknowledging, giving thanks (Asante) and presenting them with awards. We proudly look upon those persons; groups and organizations that made contribut ions that cultivate these art forms. We also recognize the contributions that the African American culture brings to the global community in many other academic disciplines. Many people of the world dance to (New Orleans) music, feast to our food, relish in our art and culture. The Asante Awards and Festival seeks to place 'center stage' those who make us smile when encircled with their works!

This event is designed to showcase our cultural achievements, and honor our local folks who have a lovefor Jazz, Art, Movies, Music, and Spoken word. New Orleans unique neighborhoods echo relics and rhythms of those who lived and worked there. In re-uniting as a city, it's vital to regenerate the souls of the residences who embody the very culture of who we are as a city. Asante Awards Festival is a family day. Neighboring artists paint their inter-visions, while musician toot out lyrical phrases, the beat of the drums sings it own messages or perhaps the fine art and sculptures designs of an artisan display a symbol, and the melodic phrases of a poetry tells a story. Whichever it may be, we have much to appreciate, celebrate, what Asante Awards Festival is all about.
