From the Maplewood Division of Arts & Culture:
The Black History Month 2024 theme is “African Americans and the Arts,” spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. In celebration of this important commemoration, Maplewood Township and community organizations are offering programming, visual art displays, theatre performances, family events and educational panels, and so much more throughout the month of February.
Without our engaged community, we could not plan this robust month of activities. We are grateful for the creators, supporters, and audiences of all of these offerings.
This listing is updated often, so please check back for new events and programs. We hope you are able to come out and join us!
