Welcome to Queen Ann Nzinga Center

Juneteenth 2025

This Juneteenth we are raising money for our Watoto program. Give $19 on the 19th, for the future of Connecticut's children! Donate Here.

We are also co-sponsoring Plainville’s 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration. This free, family-friendly event, hosted in partnership with United Plainville will feature live performances, including music, dance, and poetry. Attendees can enjoy local vendors and tasty treats, so arriving early is encouraged to explore the offerings. Learn More.

Queen Ann Nzinga Center embraces all cultures, encourages, and empowers our youth through the arts.

Named for the African queen who protected her people from slave traders, Queen Ann Nzinga Center (QANC) is a non-profit organization that celebrates and uplifts youth of all races, genders and abilities in Central Connecticut.
