Joe's 15 year Anniversary Gala

“Always a big hit.”

-Jermaine Lewis
Assistant Manager, Cultural Participation
Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland, College Park

 

For the past several years, Joe’s has been a part of Maryland Day, a day-long event which attracts over 70,000 people to the University of Maryland for campus-wide activities.   Workshops in hip-hop and North African dance get visitors moving and the Living Statues fill the pavilion. 

Jermaine Lewis explains that Joe’s offers something totally different than what other groups can provide: “People can jump right into Joe’s workshops.” Joe’s Living Statues are “always a big hit and create an interactive, festive experience for the community.” 

“It’s fun to observe people checking to see if they’re real and take pictures with them.  It adds a lot of excitement to the day.”
