The Academy Art Museum (AAM) in Easton, Maryland, will present its annual Juneteenth Celebration on Sunday, June 20, from 12 to 4 p.m. on the Museum grounds. This festive, free celebration of African American culture, art, and history promises fun for all ages. A full range of family activities, entertainment, food vendors, and free tours of artwork by African American artist Norma Morgan in the Museum’s exhibition, “Norma Morgan: Enchanted World” will be offered. The exhibition “Miró in New York, 1947: Miró, Hayter and Atelier 17” also on display, will be free to view.

Musical acts include hip hop artist Javier Starks, who performed at AAM’s 2019 Juneteenth; D.C. jazz singer Alison Crockett, who performed during AAM’s 2020 Virtual Juneteenth; and more. The program also includes a Family Craft Project, hosted by Constance Del Nero, Director of Children’s Education & Community Programs at AAM from 12 to 4 p.m. Drawing inspiration from the patterns and symbols associated with the holiday, participants will create a collaborative public artwork that will be on view on the Museum’s front lawn through August 31, 2021.
