SUMMARY:Conversation with Freedomista Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Freedom Festival is organized by volunteers–presenters\, artists\, sponsors\, scientists\, educators\, herbalists\, enthusiasts and attendees. The artists who are Freedomistas offer a visual gift of flyers\, accessibility and inspiration.

SUMMARY:Art with your Cuppa in Festival '25
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, Raquell Holmes selected paintings\, photos and drawings from the art collection of Dr. LeVell Holmes\, her father. The selection focused on Jubilee and black cultures. This year\, we’re showcasing two Sonoma County artists associated with the Freedom Festival. Select pieces of Joanna Wheeldin and Amaya Yoshikawa will be on display at Johnny’s Java\, Cotati CA\, throughout the festival. \nGrab a cup of coffee. Take your picture celebrating freedom and independence with these artists’ work. Let their pieces inspire a poem and bring it to our in-person Poetry by the Bay June 25 or online Freedom Dreams Open Mic July 4. \nLeVell would have loved this festival! He was a cultural historian who felt that the ideal history professor is one who can talk about music\, science and art as well as political events. This year’s Freedom Festival events give expression to these cultural forms and the art of coming together. \nSee you at Johnny’s\, Roadhouse or online! \nConversation with Featured Artists: Joanna Wheeldin and Amaya Yoshikawa will be at Johnny’s Java on Saturday June 28th 10:30 am-12 pm to talk about their work and their experience of being Freedom Festival Freedomistas.
