Nantucket Black History Month Presents: Celebrating the Intergenerational Power of Black Arts 2026

Join us on Saturday, February 7, from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM at the historic African Meeting House (27 York Street) for a joyful and inspiring gathering that highlights the voices, stories, and artistic traditions that connect generations.

This interactive celebration features performances by Nantucket High School senior Danielle Lewis, the NHS Diversity Club, and Ecliff’s Jazz Trio, blending spoken word, music, and youth-led expression. The afternoon will also include a powerful keynote from Massachusetts Poet Laureate Regie Gibson, whose work brings history, humanity, and hope together through the arts.

Created in partnership with the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Nantucket Department of Culture & Tourism, the Nantucket Historical Association, and the Museum of African American History Boston and Nantucket, this event is designed to be educational, entertaining, and deeply engaging for all ages.

Come ready to listen, learn, celebrate, and be inspired by the intergenerational power of Black arts and culture in a space that honors Nantucket’s rich history and vibrant future
