🎨 SAY IT LOUD! — Juneteenth Community Mural Painting Event

The Historic Lyric Theatre & Cultural Arts Center invites the community to come together for SAY IT LOUD!, a special Juneteenth Community Mural Painting Event celebrating freedom, creativity, culture, and unity.

Join us on Friday, June 19, 2026, from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM as we transform a blank wall into a powerful work of public art that reflects the voices, stories, and spirit of our community. Participants of all ages are encouraged to pick up a brush and help create a mural inspired by the themes of freedom, resilience, heritage, and hope.

The mural project will be led by Fine Artist Charles Rice, Lyric Gallery Director, whose artwork has been collected and exhibited throughout the country. Together, we will create a lasting visual tribute that honors the legacy of Juneteenth while inspiring future generations.

No artistic experience is necessary. All painting supplies will be provided, and everyone is welcome to participate.
