Norup Hosts Harlem Renaissance Night

On Thursday, May 1, the Norup art department hosted a special night inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. Middle school students from Ms. Hoste's lunch jazz band played music while students and families viewed artwork from Art 6, 7 and 8 classes which was inspired by the Harlem Renaissance artists. 

According to Britannica, the Harlem Renaissance was an African American cultural movement that flourished in the 1920s and had Harlem in New York City as its symbolic capital. It was a time of great creativity in musical, theatrical, and visual arts but was perhaps most associated with literature; it is considered the most influential period in African American literary history.
