Visitors of all ages are invited to celebrate the opening of Amy Sherald: American Sublime. Explore the exhibition, then take part in a collaborative artwork that reflects individual perspectives on the American experience. What is something you experience in America that is unique and different from the typical ways American society is represented? Add your voice to the collective composition and discover how others have expressed their own stories throughout the day.
Amy Sherald’s work is part of a long tradition of American portrait painting, but she focuses on Black Americans, a group that has often been left out of art history. She paints everyday people in a way that highlights their inner lives and unique identities.
Through her portraits, Sherald explores what it means to be American today. She believes that imagination shapes the way we see the world, and her art invites us to see new possibilities.
