In April of 2006, the Friends of German Culture was an active participant in the Huntsville, Alabama Panoply Arts festival.
The Panoply Arts festival is truly a Huntsville Tradition! Annually the last full weekend in April, Panoply features performances, demonstrations, activities and fun, all while promoting, coordinating and enhancing the arts. Begun in 1982 by the junior league of Huntsville, Panoply has evolved into one of the largest festivals in the southeast. With the support of local sponsors, businesses, city officials and the truly amazing volunteers, Panoply continues to delight North Alabama as the arts are brought to life through a wide array of activities, events and performance.
As part of this festival, a Global Village concept was included in the 2006 Panoply celebration. The Global Village is made up of numerous pavilions (tents) and was designed to showcase the cultural heritage of the many ethnic groups that have integrated within the population of Huntsville and North Alabama. Each ethnic and cultural organization staffed and decorated their respective pavilion and provided a variety of children’s activities related to arts and crafts representative of their culture.
The Huntsville German Community (Friends of German Culture) hosted and staffed a pavilion which was designed to convey the German Culture via art, music, video, and activities to children, teens and adults alike.
Corporate and private support for the German Pavilion has been spontaneous and generous, and included: Sponsorship by the COLSA Corporation, financial donation by SIEMENS VDO, Literature and Posters by the German Consulate and the Goethe Institute in Atlanta GA, and website support from Reisz Engineers. Numerous volunteers from the Friends of German Culture, SIEMENS VDO, U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Computer Science Corporation and Infinity Technology supported this effort in providing their time, labor and talent.
