The festivities begin on Saturday when the John and Joyce Caddell Sculpture Garden gates open to a Second Line-style processional parade accompanied by Jonathan Michael and the G.W. Carver High School band and flag team.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, in collaboration with the City of Montgomery and its Department of Cultural Affairs, says they are excited to invite the community to Juneteenth at the MMFA, a celebration of African American culture and creativity, on Saturday, June 17, from 9–11 a.m. and Sunday, June 18 from 1–4 p.m.
Visitors are invited and encouraged to join the processional and can pick up flags and noisemakers at the gates starting at 8:30 a.m. Throughout the morning, attendees will enjoy live music from Jonathan Michael, create sidewalk chalk art inspired by the holiday, and get a family portrait at our photo booth with Juneteenth-inspired flair.
Inside the Museum, visitors can explore The Bias Inside Us, an exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service designed to raise awareness about the social science and psychology of implicit bias, the impact of this bias, and what people can do about it. Also on view are two exhibitions of youth art by local students from Valiant Cross Academy and the MMFA’s Teen Arts and Activism Camp, with themes that celebrate the role of art in social change.
