Freedom Festival: Support BIPOC Artists & ELAH

Donation protected
Freedom Festival is a 2-day cultural arts event to commemorate the 156 annual celebration of Juneteenth through various forms of visual, musical, and performative arts, as well as community activism and programming to promote Black liberation. This event is hosted by East Lubbock Art House to support BIPOC artists and creatives as well as our programming. Within the event will be visual art displays, musical performances, theatrical performances, engaging panel discussions, comedians, interactive art, vendors, children's activities, and free food to the public. The event will be taking place June 17th and 18th at East Lubbock Art House (405 MLK Jr. Blvd) from 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. (1st day) and 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. (2nd day). The mission of Freedom Festival is to provide accessibility of culturally aware artistic expression and question what does it mean to be in support of Black life , Black liberation, and Black pursuit of creative happiness. 

This fundraiser is to support the artists and performers exhibiting their talent(s) during Freedom Festival, and the supplies and equipment to make this event run smoothly. As well, this fundraiser is to support the growth of East Lubbock Art House as we transition into larger programming and gallery space. 

These funds will be used to provide each exhibiting artist with a stipend of $100, each musical/stage performer with $200, and each poet with $75.  As well, these funds will be used to purchase necessary supplies such as: cleaning supplies, folding tables, wood to build mobile walls, face masks, signage, advertising, etc. We will be needing this funding by the first week of June to purchase all necessary items. 

We as always, greatly appreciate your support whether it be through monetary or in-kind donations, as well as your generous support and encouragement. This support means the world to us and will support the growth and vitality of East Lubbock Art House.  This event will also be the 1 year anniversary of East Lubbock Art House!
