Marianne Scott and Jay Alexander prepare for their weekly radio program at Brenau University’s radio station WBCX on Tuesday afternoon. The program focuses on the multicultural landscape of Gainesville and invites college and kindergarten through 12th-grade students to record thoughts, stories and poems for the show.
For more than two years, a group of nearly 30 volunteers has been celebrating the cultural diversity of Gainesville by broadcasting its voices throughout the area. TEAM ARTS of North Georgia, a network of teaching artists looking to blend community-based instruction with school curriculums, has teamed with Brenau University to create a weekly public radio broadcast — Celebrations: Arts Alive. The show, which airs every Saturday from 8-9 a.m., tackles a theme each week, including Kwanzaa, Hispanic Heritage Month and Native American storytelling.
