3. Juneteenth at the MMFA
The Art Museum this year is holding a celebration centered on “culture, creativity, and community” from 9:00 am to 2pm on Saturday. Though part of the event was originally supposed to be held in Blount Cultural Park, the MMFA has moved the event indoors so that all visitors can celebrate African American artistic traditions in music, sculptures and arts as far back as the 1890s.
For those not comfortable attending in person, performance will be live-streamed on the MMFA’s Facebook page.
