While our doors are temporarily closed in accordance with COVID-19 social distancing measures, Flushing Town Hall (FTH) continues to share our global arts programming online. FTH’s master Teaching Artists offer online classes, as our free series Global Arts for Global Kids I (GAGK I) returns with the original English version and four newly translated versions: Hindi (हिंदी में पढ़ें।), Spanish (Leer en español), Chinese (以中文瀏覽) and Korean (한국어로 읽기).

The replay of this arts education series will be available from January 11th, 2021 to June 30th, 2021. Students will have the opportunity to explore nine different topics every week for a total of 45 video lessons: Colombian Music, Chinese Dance, Pop-up Book Page Making, Indian Dance, Mexican Dance, African Drumming, Dance Party in the United States, Visual Signs of Gratitude, and Stories from Quarantine. All lessons are available and can be accessed anytime on FTH’s website. Each video lesson will be accompanied by activity worksheets in the above mentioned languages.

Participants are encouraged to post short video clips of themselves learning on Facebook and tag FTH facebook page @flushingtownhall.org. This rerun series offers an additional interactive option for student enrichment: live virtual workshops “Meet the Artist”  and “Jam with the Artist”.
