Lotus Blossoms in Schools
Each year, Lotus Blossoms artists visit more than 20 schools in south-central Indiana, performing for 10,000 or so young students. The Blossoms Bazaar hosts 1,000 4th-graders for a day of multicultural discovery. To keep fees as low as possible, Lotus relies on donor support — you can become an Adopt-a-School sponsor and help bring multicultural music, song, dance, and storytelling to southern Indiana schools.
