Artists give us a window on American life, often reflecting the cultural and social climate of the time in which they work. Explore the question, “What does art reveal about America?” as you examine better- and lesser-known aspects of American history to reframe your perspective. SAAM docents will facilitate an examination of America through artists’ eyes in four discussion-based sessions just for BMAV, each focused on a separate era. This date is on early American art created by residents of New England and New Spain that tell the story of a growing sense of nationhood and identity. Explore the historical context and peoples involved in the creation of our nation, territorial expansion and displacement, and economic development through artworks from colonial to Jacksonian America.
