ARTifact USA
Welcome to ARTifact USA! Our chapter embraces the vast array of American artistic expressions, from the rhythms of jazz and hip-hop to the grandeur of Broadway, and the profound traditions of Native American dances. We aim to highlight the unique cultural influences that have shaped America's artistic landscape, fostering an environment where students can explore and express their cultural identities. By engaging with the rich history and contemporary innovations of American performing arts, we aim to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the nation's cultural diversity.
