Likewise, they have experienced staff who can educate and inform persons on the history of Junkanoo and how to craft costumes, beat the drum and shake the cowbells.
The facility has a “Sacred Space” to recognize those outstanding artists like Gus Cooper and others who have passed on. (Sourced from original article by Simon Lewis, BIS)
