Juneteenth


Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19th every year and commemorates the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in the state of Texas, two and a half years after the Civil War. In honor of this historic celebration of freedom in the South, 8 local African American artists will present works showcasing their African American heritage and cultural expression. This year's exhibition is curated by artist Diamond Campbell and participating artists in this year’s exhibition include Crystal Felton, Kandyce Quintero, Tyrone Brown, Chrystal Fonville, and more. Each of the 8 panels in the Main Gallery will showcase a different artist, giving a platform for each artist to exhibit their artwork of various sizes, mediums, and styles.

Executive Director, Jonathan Burger interviewed Diamond Campbell for the New Bern Magazine, check out the interview by clicking here!
