Events

The year 1492 is emblazoned as a pivotal time in world
history.  When Christopher Columbus arrived in the
Caribbean the effects were much greater than simply
claiming land for Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain. That
year also marked the defeat of the Moors in Granada and
the expulsion of Spain’s long-established Jewish community.  
Join award-winning instructor Judy Okun as she offers a

and dramatic year of change. This arts program is made
