Gamma Xi Phi joins thousands of arts organizations and communities across the nation to celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month throughout October. GXP will carry this message to the community through activities that honor the efforts of artists, historians, teachers, and cultural groups working to make the arts and humanities a part of everyone’s life.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to participate in what has become the country’s largest annual collective celebration of the arts and humanities. The following special events are planned for National Arts and Humanities Month among members of the nation’s leading fraternity for artists.
Today, October 1, Gamma Xi Phi launches the Artists Day of Prayer. Led by Beta Lambda Chapter, serving rural and remote communities in the southeastern region of the United States, the Artists Day of Prayer has gathered clergy and lay people to use their faith traditions to elevate important conversations impacting the arts. Participants include Dr. Ansel Augustine, Reverend Arnette Georges, Reverend Chris Dorsey, Minister Kim Upshaw, Elder Damien Gardner, Minister Omari Jahi Aarons, and National President Rashid Darden.
