LIBERATION: A FESTIVAL OF ARTS AND CULTURE HONORING JUNETEENTH

Liberation: A Festival of Arts & Culture Honoring Juneteenth As more institutions begin recognizing Juneteenth as a national holiday, it is important to uplift and name the Black joy, resistance, and expression that have always been at the core of this jubilant celebration. From June 7 to 19, SCG invites members and the community to a two-week journey highlighting ten Los Angeles-based Black musicians, cultural workers, and dancers. Register now to receive daily videos showcasing artists and their stories accompanied by guided questions for self-reflection and meditation. Join us to pause, re-connect, and honor this sacred day.
