Liberation: A Festival of Arts & Culture Honoring Juneteenth

Our partners at Southern California Grantmakers are offering this event. Liberation Festival is coming back for the second year! In honor of Juneteenth, SCG is thrilled to once again host this virtual experience showcasing eight Black musicians, dances, rappers, and poets creating works on the themes of Black joy, expression, and excellence. 

From June 13 to 19, join us for a week of performances, artist interviews, and daily prompts for self and collective reflection.
