Juneteenth Celebration at the High Museum of Art

About this event

The High Museum of Art opens its doors with free admission for an all-day Juneteenth celebration anchored in art, performance, and reflection. Programming centers the Juneteenth themes of resilience, family, self-determination, and joy as expressed across the museum's world-class collection, with drop-in art-making for all ages, live music, and gallery conversations exploring how Black artists from the Reconstruction era to the present have rendered the long American journey toward freedom. The day coincides with the museum's blockbuster Amy Sherald: American Sublime exhibition, requiring a free timed ticket. Visitors can stay through the evening for Juneteenth Friday Jazz (6–10 p.m.) across three musical stages, making the High one of Atlanta's marquee institutional Juneteenth observances.
