Newark Museum of Art presents Outdoor Festival for Juneteenth

(NEWARK, NJ) -- Juneteenth at the Newark Museum of Art (NMOA) will be an outdoor festival inspired by Harriet Tubman featuring performers, artists, and dancers from the Black community across New Jersey. This event is for all ages. In case of rain, the event will move indoors. It takes place from noon to 5:00pm on Saturday, June 18th.

Be part of the creation of Newark’s Harriet Tubman Monument in Washington Park by decorating ceramic tiles with your stories of freedom and liberation. The tiles will later be fired and integrated into the final design of the Monument (limited availability).

Jacari Harris, Executive Director of the George Floyd Foundation, will address the general progress of the black community and touch on topics of activism and equity. Take part in step workshops, arts and crafts, great food, local vendors, and a lot more!

Enjoy free general admission to the Museum all day during Community Day!

The Newark Museum of Art is located at 49 Washington Street in Newark, New Jersey.  It is the state’s largest museum, holding fine collections of American art, decorative arts, contemporary art, and arts of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the ancient world. Its extensive collections of American art include works by Hiram Powers, Thomas Cole, John Singer Sargent, Albert Bierstadt, Frederick Church, Childe Hassam, Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Joseph Stella, and Tony Smith.

Founding Director John Cotton Dana believed that museums were established to promote the appreciation, understanding, and enjoyment of the arts and sciences. Together with a group of public officials, prominent businessmen and local collectors, he established the Museum in 1909 at the Newark Public Library. He provided the intellectual leadership that made it one of the most progressive cultural institutions in the country.

Community Days are presented by Horizon Foundation of New Jersey.

This event is in partnership with the City of Newark, The Newark City Parks Foundation, the Newark Public Library, and was made possible with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation and TD Charitable Foundation.
