October is national arts & humanities month!

9/19/2017

0 Comments

 
October is National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) – a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of culture in America. NAHM was launched by Americans for the Arts 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, it was reestablished by Americans for the Arts and national arts partners as a month-long celebration, with goals of:
 
FOCUSING on the arts at local, state, and national levels;
 
ENCOURAGING individuals and organizations to participate in the arts;
 
ALLOWING governments and businesses to show their support of the arts; and
 
RAISING public awareness about the role the arts and humanities play in our communities and lives.

We have a TON of exciting events planned this October to celebrate National Arts & Humanities month. Check out what's happening on campus and in our community!

Little Free Libraries are a global phenomenon. The small, front yard and sidewalk book exchange boxes number nearly 50,000, and can be found in all 50 states and in 70 countries around the world — from Iceland to Tasmania to Pakistan. Now, Slippery Rock can be added to that list.
 
The Stone House Center for Public Humanities (CPH) at Slippery Rock University, in partnership with Slippery Rock Community Library, has donated a Little Free Library to share books, bring people together, and create communities of readers. Located on Main Street in front of North Country Brewery, the Little Free Library box will be available year-round. Community members and passersby are invited to give a book they’ve enjoyed, or take a book that sparks their interest. The Little Free Library will also be regularly stocked with books by the Slippery Rock Community Library.
