2020 Kwanzaa Celebration: Power in Our Voice

The Saint Louis Art Museum continues its more than 20-year tradition of presenting a Kwanzaa celebration in collaboration with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., St. Louis Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter. This year will be our first virtual Kwanzaa celebration, highlighting works of art from the collection, the talents of their members, and the guiding principles of the holiday. Kwanzaa is a celebration of family, culture, and community. Founded around seven principles, this African American holiday promotes unity, self-determination, cooperation, community, and faith. From December 26 through January 1 the Art Museum will celebrate Kwanzaa online at slam.org through a virtual journey of the Seven Principles, a gallery hunt, and a virtual drumming performance. Join our virtual celebration on December 26 by visiting slam.org. On the Museum website, you can view seven videos highlighting each day’s principle and will include performances by local artists.
