Cultural Festivals received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to host The Big Read in St. Louis. Cultural Festivals is one of 269 nonprofits–including arts, culture, and science organizations; libraries; and municipalities–to receive a grant to host a Big Read project between September 2009 and 
June 2010. The Big Read gives communities the opportunity to come together to read, discuss, and celebrate one of 30 selections from U.S. and world literature. The Big Read in St. Louis will focus on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Activities will take place Beginning on October 10, 2009 with The Big Read Festival through February 2010. New Links to New Learning is excited to share that we will be teaming up with Cultural Festivals to bring interactive videoconferences to schools this winter. As more details emerge on this collaboration, I’ll be sure to share them with you!
