Day 4 of American Samoa Council on Arts, Culture, and the Humanities visit to Samoa started with a stop at the EFKS Fine Arts & Museum. Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing your incredible school. “We were truly impressed by the talent of the students. From paintings and drawings to sculptures, every piece reflected creativity, dedication, and a deep appreciation for the arts.” [Facebook photo]
