Join The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture as we host the 1st annual GanttFest!, a full-day celebration of the arts on Saturday, September 11, 2010. Activities include African storytelling, workshops, face painting, children's films, spoken word, music and dance.

As a youngster, Tonya Brandon attended programs at the Afro-American Cultural Center on 401 N. Myers St. As an adult she has come full circle as chairman of the now Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture on South Tryon Street, where her 15-year-old daughter Khelsi volunteers.
