The Gantt’s “2025 Juneteenth at the Gantt” celebration offers a dynamic program lineup designed for guests to experience a rich blend of activities, including family-friendly art-making, community discussions, and a live performance honoring Black Music Month. Guests can enjoy guided tours of current exhibitions and engage in a special discussion inspired by Black Behind Bars, curated and led by the exhibition’s featured photographer, Alvin C. Jacobs, Jr.

This year, we offer special reflections on the prolific analyses of James Baldwin through his book Fire Next Time, and the film I Am Not Your Negro – Raoul Peck’s response to Baldwin’s Remember This House.

We invite the community to explore the layered meaning of freedom through creative expression, thoughtful dialogue, and collective joy. Whether through art, music, or conversation, Juneteenth at the Gantt offers a meaningful space for honoring the past and shaping a more intentional future.
