Juneteenth commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States. It marks the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all enslaved people were free - more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Though President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, it was unenforceable in Confederate strongholds until Union troops took control of those territories. Because Texas had no large-scale Union military presence, slavery continued there relatively untouched.

And so today marks a day when freedom finally reached everyone, another step on the ladder of equal rights that we are still laboring to climb today.

Let her cook! Our kilns just got loaded again yesterday for another firing because we're cranking out the new work here at The Amp! There's pieces in there made by our Ceramics Director, some by our ceramics members, some from our ceramics students, and more. Come check out our ceramics programs AND, coming soon, we'll have classes for younger ceramicists (under 16). We heard you loud and clear that you wanted classes for the littler ones so stay tuned for those!

June is Pride Month and The Amp is hosting a new gallery show to celebrate the talented LGBTQIA+ artists in our community. "Echoes of Us" will be curated by our Director of Ceramics, Kaylee Gernant. Here is her curation statement for the show:

"Throughout human history, q***r voices have been silenced and forced to conform to a world that is oftentimes close minded and hateful. Echoes of Us is a collection of works from q***r artists showing resilience, community, identity, and love!

We want to share the work of our LGBTQIA+ artists this Pride Month with "Echoes of Us," which will celebrate the brilliant artistry and amazing resilience of that community. We hope that these voices, evident in their work, echo far and loud, and that they can be unapologetically themselves."

Join us on June 12th, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM for the opening of Echoes of Us. The gallery will remain up through 9 PM on Saturday, June 13th, and can be seen during The Amp's hours of operation: 9 AM to 9 PM.
