Juneteenth Reading of Frederick Douglas

Juneteenth Reading of Frederick Douglas

June 19, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

This year, New Art will participate in Juneteenth celebrations hosted by FORJ NNHS (Families Organizing for Racial Justice at Newton North High School) at the Walnut Street side of Newton North High School. Vendors including Black-owned businesses, food trucks, performers, DJs, kids’ activities, and art exhibits will make this a fantastic family day out, so mark your calendars.

The New Art Center is hosting a performance of Frederick Douglass’s “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” This performance is a part of the Reading Frederick Douglass Together Program, funded by a grant from Mass Humanities. It will feature 4 BIPOC performers from a variety of ages and gender identities performing different parts of this speech as well as art making activities and educational materials. New Art will be partnering with Historic Newton to provide an in-depth look at the speech and context for the reading.

REGISTRATION POLICIES

Insufficient Enrollment: The New Art Center will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Withdrawal: Up to 7 days before the first class, you may withdraw for a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per class. For any tuition payments paid by credit card your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund. Withdrawals from classes, workshops, and events under $40 are eligible for course credit only, less a $10 fee or the full tuition amount can be donated to the New Art Center. Donors will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes. Course credits are good for 1 year from the date of issue, after which time you will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.

Summer Camp Withdrawal: All withdrawals for our Summer Camp must be made by June 9 to receive a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per week. For any tuition payments paid by credit card, your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund.

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.

Scholarships: Limited scholarships are available according to need. Please apply here.
