For our nation’s semiquincentennial, we invite artists to create work reflecting on their personal experiences as Americans as well as how they engage with the histories of their communities and families, and their hopes for the future. Artwork submitted to this exhibition will be reviewed by a panel who will curate an exhibition that reflects, celebrates, and maybe even reimagines what it means to be an American during the time of our 250th anniversary.
