Possible Events that Connect the Theme of “Open Doors”
• Opportunities to visit historical buildings, museums, and landmarks, some of which are not typically open to the public.
• Guided tours with historians and local storytellers.
• Celebrate the diverse cultures of our community with food, music, art, and storytelling.
• Highlight how doors have been opened to people through education, or historic events such as Civil Rights Movement or The Great Migration.
• Feature performances by local musicians, dancers, and spoken word artists that reflect the community’s heritage and cultural diversity.
• Create an “Open Doors” collaborative piece where participants can write or draw their personal aspirations, stories, or messages of inclusion on “door panels” or encourage attendees to sign a large banner committing to keeping the spirit of “Beloit: Open Doors” alive.
