Collaborative Community Art Project with the Juneteenth Legacy Project

Be a part of the Juneteeth Legacy Project’s mural by joining Galveston’s Own Farmers Market on Sunday, March 21. The artist Reginald C. Adams will provide everyone an opportunity to physically contribute to the massive art installation and storytelling space, “Absolute Equality,” which will be completed and dedicated on the Juneteenth holiday, June 19, 2021.

Reginald C. Adams is a world-renowned artist engaged in creating public art installations in historic and underserved communities across the United States. The 5,000 square foot mural will commemorate the emancipation of the final remaining enslaved African Americans in Texas.

We will have spaced out art stations set up for folks to paint and color pieces of the mural. Each participant will have 15 minutes to complete their piece. Stations will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Masks & social distancing will be required. If it rains, this event will be rescheduled.

Support the Project:

The Galveston-based Nia Cultural Center is the Juneteenth Legacy Project’s fiscal sponsor, accepting tax-deductible donations on behalf of the organization. The project is more than half-funded and every bit counts.
