\"\"<\/a> Applause! Exhibit<\/p>\n

It has been almost a year and a half since the OMA began its relationship with Milagro<\/a> and about a year since it first met with the Obo Addy Legacy Project<\/a>. From the very beginning, the OMA had always planned to curate an exhibit to feature both organizations and that time has finally arrived!<\/p>\n

Milagro (officially known as the Miracle Theatre Group)\u00a0is\u00a0a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon. Its mission\u00a0is to \u201cprovide extraordinary Latino theatre, culture, and arts\u00a0education experiences for the enrichment of all communities.\u201d\u00a0Founded in 1985 by Jos\u00e9 Gonz\u00e1lez and Da\u00f1el Mal\u00e1n,\u00a0Executive and Artistic Directors, Milagro produces classical\u00a0and contemporary performances, both Spanish and bilingual,\u00a0through its main stage in Portland and \u201cMilagro Tour,\u201d a\u00a0national touring group previously known as Teatro Milagro. Milagro strives to raise awareness and address the issues that\u00a0matter to the Latino community through partnerships with\u00a0schools and social service organizations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In 2012, Milagro began a relationship with the\u00a0OMA to preserve and make publicly accessible\u00a0the organization\u2019s historical records. The collection consists\u00a0of materials documenting Milagro\u2019s administration and board,\u00a0building history, outreach and education endeavors, staff and\u00a0artists, grants and finances, and creative programing. In\u00a0addition to textual documents, the collection also contains\u00a0photographs, posters, and audio\/visual materials.\u00a0Find out more about the Milagro collection\u00a0via\u00a0Milagro blog posts on the OMA blog<\/a><\/p>\n

The Obo Addy Legacy Project\u00a0(OALP) is a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, with the mission to \u201coffer authentic experiences with the music and dance of Ghana, West Africa, and to create cultural awareness and understanding through educational offerings, an annual festival, and performing groups that tour the world.\u201d The OALP was originally established in 1986 as the Homowo African Arts and Cultures organization by Obo and Susan Addy, who served as artistic and executive directors. Obo Addy was a Ghanaian master drummer who performed all over the world, wrote music, and taught at both the K-12 and college level. Addy passed away in 2012; however, led by Susan Addy, the OALP is committed to continuing his legacy of creating, performing, and teaching African arts.<\/p>\n

In 2013, the OALP began a relationship with the\u00a0OMA to document the organization\u2019s history and make it accessible to the public. The collection includes administrative records, promotional materials, and media related to the Homowo African Arts and Cultural organization. The archives also includes Obo Addy\u2019s personal papers, such as correspondence, promotional and teaching materials, and photographs.
