The Coalition for Multicultural Affairs welcomes you to join us as we celebrate traditions, interculturalism, and creative expression through the arts.
Our goal for Culture Fest 2018 is to create an interactive space for professionals and attendees to engage in ways in which they find decolonization important and impactful to our work. CMA invites you to participate in Culture Fest 2018, featuring special guest, Crystal Endsley. Culture Fest will take place in the George R. Brown Convention Center Grand Ballroom Pre-Function Space at 7:00pm on Sunday, 11 March following the Opening Session.
