Austin Creative Reuse

Happy Juneteenth! Celebrate by joining us for a free Make & Take where you can make an origami 12-point star in the colors of the Juneteenth flag! Join Core Volunteer Kelly in our Community Space (next to the Office Section) from 12-3PM to learn origami and celebrate Juneteenth!

Did you know?

The Juneteenth flag is half blue and half red, with a large white star in the center. It was designed by the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation and utilizes the colors of the American flag: red, white, and blue. These colors and the inclusion of the 5-point star are used to commemorate that the African Americans that were enslaved in Texas after the Emancipation Proclamation were American citizens, and the Juneteenth holiday began in Texas as a result. The larger starburst surrounding the central star represents the spread and celebration of freedom that Juneteenth represents.

This is a FREE drop-in event, so you can stop by anytime between 12-3PM to participate.
