#JUNETEENTH #FAMILY DAY: Fresh Faces of Freedom: Join us to #celebrate #African #American art and culture and to commemorate June 19, 1865 when the enslaved in Galveston, Texas first learned of their freedom, two and half years after the enactment of the #Emancipation Proclamation. Enjoy free admission and family art activities from 10 am – 5 pm. Explore the art of African American artists in the collection and The #Amistad Center’s traveling display, Fresh Faces of Youth. Then, create a ‘fresh face’ of your own using kente cloth patterns, pose for a picture, explore faces in art with a docent, and learn about historical figures in the abolitionist movement with performances by the Ray of Hope project. This free, fun-filled family event includes something for everyone! A free shuttle bus will run between the #Wadsworth Atheneum, the Mark Twain House, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, and ImPACT Fest in Bushnell Park. ow.ly/wO4LT
