Upcoming Events
Praise House Project
October 14-November 4
Recalling freedom, the Praise House Project invites the Emory community to examine history while encouraging historic and cultural preservation as acts of repair within the context of race, diversity, equity and inclusion. On October 19, artist and activist Charmaine Minniefield returns to campus for an evening celebration of the Praise House Project at Emory, the culmination of her multi-year engagement with the Emory community. Opening the following day, the Praise House Project public art installation will remain on campus through December 15. During its time on campus, the Praise House will be open Fridays through Sundays, from 12-5 p.m. Visitors may also come on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the same times, but reservations are required.
