Great Conversations is Morris Arts' renowned special event.Great Conversations is about rediscovering the vanishing art of live conversation. Great Conversations connects our guests with prominent individuals from all walks of life who facilitate a thoughtful exchange of ideas around the dining table-in other words, a great conversation.Morris Arts held its annual Giralda Music and Arts Festival, however, inclement weather made it necessary for the event to be held indoors. While attendance was a bit dampened by the weather, it didnt impact the enthusiasm of concert goers, nor did it erase the smiles on the faces of 2 deserving high school students who were awarded $6,500 in Morris Arts scholarships at the event.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$211.4KLocal Arts Support
