EXHIBIT Juneteenth
Jun 7 — Jul 26
This powerful exhibit captures the historical Black experience in a timeline from the Transatlantic Slave Trade through Black Lives Matter. The timeline features harsh historical content that may be upsetting as well as positive stories from local and national heroes that may be uplifting to viewers.

EXHIBITION Dia del Niño
Jun 7 — Jun 28
Our partners at Bethany Christian Services presents a collection of works created by refugee children under their care. The works offer glimpses into the children’s lives before and after coming to the US.

If you’re able to volunteer for this event, please reach out to the Event Manager, Jamie Sweet, JSweet@imcoalition.org
