This celebration will promote multicultural education, encourage social harmony, and ensure the cultural integrity of JapanFest by providing an appropriate mix of authentic contemporary and traditional programs on Japanese art and culture. Activities include a wide variety of performing arts, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and exhibitions. These grassroots efforts are coordinated by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Georgia and The Japan-America Society of Georgia, and implemented by a host of community volunteers. JapanFest is committed to organizing a self-sustaining event, supported in part by non-Japanese Chamber of Commerce and non-Japan-America Society of Georgia members, and provides meaningful financial support to educational endeavors in Georgia.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information visit the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/japanfest.org\/index.php\u0022\u003Ewebsite\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;or call 404-842-0736.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"JapanFest will promote multicultural education, encourage social harmony, and ensure the cultural integrity of JapanFest by providing an appropriate mix of authentic contemporary and traditional programs on Japanese art and culture."}],"uid":"28068","created_gmt":"2014-09-18 09:50:06","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:21:39","author":"Andrea Harris","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2014-09-20T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2014-09-20T19:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2014-09-20T19:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2014-09-20 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2014-09-20 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2014-09-20 23:00:00","rrule":"RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20140922T035959Z;WKST=SU","timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1297","name":"Office of International Education"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102311","name":"Global Atlanta"},{"id":"103751","name":"JapanFest"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
