July is Disability Pride Month, and this year, Newton is throwing a celebration! Visit the Cooper Center on Sunday, July 19, for an afternoon of art, music, and community. The celebration will take place from 2-4pm, and you can drop by anytime. Adults and kids of all ages are welcome. Attend on your own, as a family, or with friends!

Throughout the event, there will be games and activities, community resource tables, refreshments, and a sensory-friendly room. Everyone is invited to contribute to a Disability Pride quilt, a community art project facilitated by artist Bill Porter.
At 2:30, there will be welcoming remarks and a performance by local jazz musicians. At 3:30, there will be more music and the installation of the Disability Pride quilt.

This program is presented in partnership by the Newton Commission On Disability, the Newton Free Library, and Understanding Our Differences.
