The largest Black arts institution in the state celebrated Juneteenth with a three-day summit.

Newark Symphony Hall hosted multiple panels and events this week, focused on economic development and creativity. Their goal is to continue fundraising to restore the building and use it as a creative space for community members in Newark.

Hundreds came out this week to recognize arts and education for the summit's third year.
