River Kids

River Kids After School Arts Program

Through a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission, the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation will offer an after school arts program, entitled River Kids, which will explore the Mississippi River through the arts. The free program for ages 7-13 will be held at the Southern Cultural Heritage Complex in downtown Vicksburg each Thursday from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. from September 21, 2000, through April 2001.

Taught by local arts educators, the goal of River Kids is to expose youth to the arts and give them a better understanding of the community and environment that surrounds them. The program will draw on resources in the community to enhance the curriculum and will include performances by regional artists throughout the year. River Kids will conclude with a public performance and exhibition of the children’s art works.
