Join us for The Big Marshallese Celebration, where we honor the cherished tradition of Kemem! In the Marshall Islands, the first birthday holds immense significance, marking a child’s first year on Earth. It’s a day of joy, love, and celebration like no other. Together with the Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese (ACOM), celebrate all children with artmaking, family portraits, and engagements in the new special focus exhibition Navigating Lolelaplap.

Come experience the rich Marshallese culture as we commemorate this special occasion. Don’t miss out on a day filled with tradition, community, and fun for all ages!
