honor of Juneteenth, youth artists will design a 2-foot by 3-foot mural composed of twelve 8x8 inch canvas squares. Drawing inspiration from Juneteenth history, African textile design, and oral storytelling, each teen will create an individual sketch that contributes to a larger collective image. The outlined mural will be displayed at a Juneteenth celebration on June 19 (see below), where community members will be invited to help bring the quilt to life by filling in each canvas square with color and meaning.

Free Event- For students in grades 7-12. Free Registration with the link below.
