DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun-filled afternoon at the Gregg Museum of Art 
 & Design to celebrate the opening of Grounded by acclaimed artist Maya Fr
 eelon.\n\nDrawing on her signature use of delicate tissue paper\, Freelon
  transforms the galleries into an immersive environment that honors both 
 fragility and resilience. In Grounded\, the red clay and soil of North Ca
 rolina become central materials and metaphors\, asking us to consider wha
 t it means to create sanctuary in uncertain times and how the land itself
  holds memory\, pain\, and possibility.\n\nThe community celebration will
  include local organizations highlighting African American heritage and w
 ellness\, along with special performances by Tre. Charles\, Johnny Lee Ch
 apman III\, and NC State’s Panoramic Dance Project.\n\nYou are invited to
