Join the Florida A&M University Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery for the Sarpasana Series, a new community-centered series of events promoting a mixture of art, yoga, and holistic wellness. The Sarpasana Series developed from Yoga in the Museum, a three-year program created by Spelman College’s Curator of Education, Makeba Dixon-Hill. This partnership yielded a collaborative project between FAMU and Spelman’s art institutions. Through this project, the Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery will implement yoga classes, and other art and wellness-centered programs in the gallery to expand our services to our campus and surrounding area community.
