Join us at ADAMA for a joyous Kwanzaa Celebration and the Closing Reception of the Pieces of Us exhibit on Saturday, December 28th, from 1–4 PM. This special family-friendly event marks the conclusion of this powerful exhibition, honoring the cultural significance of Black Southern artistry and celebrating the principles of Kwanzaa.

Event Highlights:

• Kinara Lighting Ceremony: Gather with us as we light the kinara and reflect on Kwanzaa's seven guiding principles—Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith).

• Meet & Greet with Featured Artists: Connect with the artists behind the stunning works featured in Pieces of Us, and hear their stories in an informal and welcoming setting.

• Family-Friendly Scavenger Hunt: Kids (and kids at heart!) can engage with the exhibit in a fun and interactive scavenger hunt designed to celebrate the themes of art, heritage, and storytelling.

This celebration is a perfect way to honor community, family, and creativity while closing out Pieces of Us, a collection that highlights Black Southern artistry and the importance of cultural caretaking.

Admission: This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged to secure your spot.

We look forward to celebrating with you and your loved ones as we close this exhibit with joy, reflection, and connection.
