PUBLIC ART
ACTIVATON RFP
In honor of Juneteenth and the ongoing celebration of freedom, we are calling for artists to create a public art installation that showcases the Crowns of Liberation Parade — a lively display of headwear that represents the rich cultural history, regional aesthetics, and performance traditions within the Black community.
The installation will celebrate the diverse head coverings and cultural expressions worn within the Black community, ranging from the early Juneteenth celebrations to contemporary Black cultural moments.
Join Juneteenth Houston as we tour the historic African American communities in and around Houston! This tour is made possible by the generous support of Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Harris County Precinct 1. There is no cost, but registration is required.
