To welcome you on Thursday evening, November 11, there will be an art exhibit and reception at nearby Community College of Philadelphia, where rarely seen African art from Philadelphia area collections will be displayed, and African food and music will be provided. And of course the ASA Dance tradition will continue with a gala event on Friday, November 12th, following the annual Awards Ceremony and Presidential Address.
