Lotus Blossoms in Schools
Lotus Blossoms artists visit more than 20 schools in south-central Indiana -- performing for 10,000+ young students. The World Bazaar hosts 1,000 4th-graders for a day of multicultural discovery.
To keep fees as low as possible, Lotus relies on the support Adopt-a-School Sponsors to help underwrite the costs of taking muticultural music, song, dance, and storytelling directly to schools. Find out how to be part of the Adopt-a-School program...
