CVV News

Today, we join communities across the nation in recognizing Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, and creativity.

As a performing arts center, we understand that the arts have always been a powerful force for storytelling and healing. From spirituals to spoken word, dance to jazz, Black artists have shaped and redefined the cultural landscape of this country—and continue to do so every day.

We honor Juneteenth not only as a historical milestone but also as a call to keep lifting Black voices and artistic expression.

We are committed to our mission to offer programming reflective of our community and we are working every day to ensure that our stage truly reflects the diverse world we live in.
