Arts | Theatre 202

Join us for a day of celebration, culture, and creativity!
Juneteenth is a momentous day in history. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans were informed of their freedom—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day celebrates freedom, resilience, and the power of the Black community to transcend oppression.
​
Join Arts Davidson County, in partnership with Anything for Our Youth and Black Butterfly Network, as we celebrate Juneteenth through art, culture, and community! This event will feature live performances, a youth DJ showcase, a powerful step team performance, the Freedom Mural Project, and a marketplace highlighting Black-owned businesses and artists.
​
Art has long been at the heart of the Black liberation movement—serving as a voice for the unheard and a space for freedom of expression. Join us as we celebrate Black culture, creativity, and the ongoing journey of liberation.
