Description

The New York Historical explores the importance of democracy by tying together contemporary artwork from its collections and that of NYC-based artists commenting on the founding of our nation. Together, they spark thought-provoking conversation about the meaning of democracy, what it looks like, who it serves—and the continuing progress of the ideals of liberty and equality that our country was founded on.
