Join us in celebrating America's extraordinary artistic legacy as we commemorate our nation's 250th anniversary with a curated exploration of the masterworks that have defined our cultural identity. From the luminous landscapes of the Hudson River School to the bold innovations of Abstract Expressionism, this program showcases the diverse voices and revolutionary spirits that have shaped American art across two and a half centuries. Through intimate encounters with iconic works by artists like Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, we'll discover how American artists have continuously redefined not only our visual culture, but art itself on the world stage.
