IRS990/Desc0For the year ended December 31, 2017, The Wrens Nest operated the following programs:(i)Tours & StorytellingDuring the year 2017, The Wren's Nest offered tours of the home for five days out of every week. Additionally, professional storytellers performed the Brer Rabbit stories for over 200 different audiences. The storytellers performed outside of the Wren's Nest in a variety of venues such as the Decatur Boo Festival, as well as traveling to schools and community groups that might not otherwise be able to travel to the museum. The Wren's Nest participated in Phoenix Flies, in partnership with Atlanta Preservation Center, where tours and storytelling were offered free to the public(ii)The Scribes Writing Program2017 marked 8th year of the Wrens Nest Scribes writing program at KIPP STRIVE Academy, and the 4th year of the Wrens Nest Scribes writing program at Brown Middle School. Both schools are in the West End neighborhood. The Wrens Nest pairs students with professional, and semi-professional, writers to help write their own fictional story based on a theme. With the help of their mentors, students conducted research, learned the elements of developing a story and its characters, and dramatically improved their writing skills. The Wrens Nest published their stories in a bound collection and launched the two publications at the Decatur Book Festival. (ii)EventsThe Wrens Nest hosted the free annual Victorian Holiday Open House, which celebrates Joel Chandler Harris' birthday with traditional holiday decorations, storytelling, entertainment and food. The Wrens Nest hosted the 2nd annual Brer Rabbit Blues & BBQ in October 2017. The Wrens Nest also rented out the backyard space for paid community events, such as the annual Reggae Festival & Health Fair and the debut of the Jazz Matters music series.
