Access for All Community Day | Juneteenth
Description
Free Admission from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.!
Join us for the NBMAA’s 24th Annual Juneteenth Celebration! This day-long event features artistic performances, music, in-gallery experiences, and of course artmaking. Shop from local Black-owned businesses, support independent artists, and grab a bite from regional food trucks. Continue the celebration with cocktails and music at the Museum in the evening! The Museum was one of the earliest institutions, if not the first, to hold a Juneteenth celebration in New Britain. In 2001, in collaboration with its African American Advisory Committee, the Museum worked with New Britain residents to host a celebration for the holiday.
