Creative Greensboro’s First Friday events return to the Greensboro Cultural Center, 200 N. Davie St., this fall to launch a season celebrating the City’s diverse cultures.

Creative Greensboro will host “Deaf Arts Connect!,” a Deaf Awareness Month event in partnership with the organization MyASLTeacherRocks! from 6-9 pm on Friday, September 5. This free event will feature an American Sign Language (ASL) storyteller, a paint-and-sign area, deaf-friendly musical performances, and ASL classes for beginners.
