Inside The Arts: MAAFA Healing, ESSENCE Fest, NOCCA Institute’s Summer Studio

MAAFA

This week on Inside the Arts, a spiritual healing as a ceremony honors African ancestors who perished during the Middle Passage. The Ashé Cultural Arts Center presents the 17th annual MAAFA commemoration in Congo Square.

Then, legendary singer Diana Ross gets the 'party with a purpose' started as ESSENCE Festival kicks off this weekend.

And, school may be out for summer, but adults are filling the classrooms. They are being lured by the call of the arts at the NOCCA Institute's Summer Studio.
