Get ready for a summer celebration of freedom, resilience, and hands-on creativity -- it’s Juneteenth Unlimited with the Boston-based social justice project Wee The People!

In this interactive workshop, we'll explore the story of Juneteenth, the oldest commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Come honor the joy and  resistance of Black Americans then and now – with special flag-making crafts celebrating the exhibition of artist Beau McCall!

Buttons On! marks the first-ever retrospective for creative artist, Beau McCall. Proclaimed by American Craft magazine as “The Button Man,” McCall creates wearable and visual art by hand-sewing clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. Showcasing pieces from McCall’s nearly forty-year career, the exhibition explores McCall’s mastery of the button and commentary on topics such as pop culture and social justice.
