Albany Museum of Art, Dougherty School System to host Juneteenth celebration

ALBANY ─ The Albany Museum of Art, in partnership with the Dougherty County School System, will host a Juneteenth Fine Art Celebration, a tribute to Juneteenth National Independence Day, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday.

"The Dougherty County School System’s Fine Arts Department is excited to celebrate Juneteenth in collaboration with the Albany Museum of Art," DCSS lead art teacher Samantha Fields, who also serves on the AMA Board of Trustees, said. "We seek to promote and amplify community while uplifting black liberation through the arts. Although we would like to look back and reflect, events such as these are important so that we can also look to the future. What better way to celebrate than through the exhibition of black artists, musicians, and business owners?"
