In April Festival Inc. - Mission Statement |

The Africa In April Cultural Awareness Festival
was created in 1985 as an annual springtime cultural event. Designed to
promote the Memphis/Mid-South and Tri-State region, the Festival's mission
is to draw national and international attention to Memphis and the Mid-South
as a rising cultural tourism destination. By presenting internationally
acclaimed artists and entertainers from around the world for the enjoyment
of visitors, residents and students, the Festival proudly shares the enriching
experience, the unifying power and the joy that cultural exchange brings
to the quality of life for everyone.

| Africa In April showcases the Mid-South's artistic
distinctiveness, and recreational attractions as well as its wealth of
historic, cultural and educational institutions, which is of direct benefit
to the cultural development of the Mid-South as well as to building year-round
interest in tourism and international business and economic development.
Each year, a new artwork is commissioned to commemorate the celebration
of the country being featured. |
