BASKETS, CONTAINERS TO BE TOPIC
OF ARTI-FACTS! PROGRAM AT WCU

Baskets and other containers will be the topic of an Arti-Facts! program for children on Sunday, Oct. 8, at Western Carolina University's Mountain Heritage Center.

Set for 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., the program will include an exploration of the temporary exhibit “Transformations: Cherokee Baskets in the 20th Century,” which is currently on display at the museum. Participants also will get a chance to examine bags, buckets and other types of baskets, and to make a container of their own.

Designed for children ages 6 through 12, Arti-Facts! programs explore the region's natural and cultural heritage. Attendance is free, but reservations are required. Parents are invited to attend with their children.
