The Goddess of Art by Diamond Campbell

Juneteenth

Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19th annually and commemorates the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in the state of Texas after the Civil War. In honor of this historic celebration of freedom in the South, Craven Arts Council & Gallery will host local African American artists for the month of June. The exhibit will go beyond just history - it will explore culture, identity, and personal expression through a wide range of artistic styles. Visitors can expect to experience pieces that reflect both the struggles and the beauty of Black life, past and present, while also highlighting creativity, pride, and community. Participating artists in this year's exhibition include curator Diamond Campbell, Crystal Felton, Tyrone Brown, Chrystal Fonville, Ceven Bryant, and more. Craven Arts will host an open reception during the June Artwalk from 5 - 8 pm on Friday, June 12th.
