There's always something to do in Norcross. Here are just a few events to check out this week.
"The Karansi Project" Art Exhibit Opening.
In the shadow of Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro is a Tanzanian village named “Karansi.” Its inhabitants have suffered drought, poverty and hunger, with few resources to educate their children in hopes of a better life. Fortunately for them, “The Tanzanian Global Team, a Ministry of Perimeter Church” is now helping with food, medical supplies, assistance with building schools and providing shelters for widows and children.
Kudzu Art Zone has jumped in to help the cause with The Karansi Project: Transforming a Village from the Bottom Up. This is a special fundraising art exhibit, with sales of Tanzanian-inspired art to benefit the villagers. Kudzu Art Zone Gallery (116 Carlyle St.) Regular gallery hours are Tuesdays, Fridays & Saturdays, 11am – 4pm & Sundays, 2pm – 5pm. Exhibit runs through Nov. 22.
