Get an exclusive first look at A Nation of Artists before it opens to the public! Join Lea C. Stephenson, Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art, and Leah Triplett, Curator of Contemporary Art at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, for an intimate lunchtime conversation exploring the stories, overlooked artists, and bold curatorial choices behind this landmark exhibition marking America’s 250th anniversary.
Discover how curators reimagined the canon, centered marginalized voices, and created dynamic dialogues between historical and contemporary works to expand our understanding of what it has always meant to be an American artist.
