Diversity was on display at Fishers City Hall Friday evening as the Fishers Arts Council sponsored Embracing Black Culture.  There was art work throughout the walls of the building, much of it created by Fall Creek Junior High School students, under the guidance of teacher Michelle Feeney.

A large crowd gathered to view the art, then moved to the Council Chambers.  First, poet Eric Saunders put on a one-man show featuring his poetic art.  Later, a program featured Travis Brown, CEO of the Fishers-based Mojo Up, and a series of speakers.  The 31Svn dance group provided a Hip Hop routine (video link above).

The size and energy of the crowd illustrated the interest locally in black culture.

The event received funding from the Hamilton County Community Foundation.
