The Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana and the Evansville African American Museum are partnering on a fine arts exhibit in honor of the newest national holiday, Juneteenth.
“Lift Every Voice” is an exhibit celebrating Juneteenth and Black joy, but also an exhibit that will examine the ongoing struggle for social justice. Artists are encouraged to submit work around this theme, or to help educate the public about Juneteenth, the black experience, or the history of social justice in our country.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday on June 19 commemorating the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans.
Entry for this exhibit is a bit different. This exhibit will require each participant to be a member of the Evansville African American Museum. For more information and instructions how to pay museum member dues can be found on their website here. There are no other fees to enter this exhibit.

Help us help you get booked! The Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana seeks contact information for Evansville-area bands and musicians to aid in booking and promotional efforts. In a normal year, the Arts Council regularly books bands and musicians of all genres (On The Roof, Brown Bag, gallery shows, exhibit openings). The Arts Council also hosts a recorded music series, Pocket City Songs, and will soon launch an arts-focused podcast and music blog to highlight original music acts in the region. The Arts Council is also often solicited by other organizations and groups about helping find bands and musicians to book for their events.
By providing this information, it doesn’t guarantee you will be booked for any of the above events or programs, but it will certainly help and it also gives the Arts Council a better view of the musical community in the region.
