Picturing America
With Sherwood Historical Society

December 15 - March 30
Great art speaks powerfully, inspires fresh thinking, and connects us to our past. Picturing America, a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities, tells America’s story through its art in large, high-quality reproductions of selected masterworks of American art from 1100 to 1996. The selection of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and decorative arts represents a broad range of American art.  The works belong to American collections that are accessible to the public, and were selected for their quality, range of media, and ability to be grouped in ways that expand their educational potential.

Gallery Opening: January 6, 2017 | 6:30 - 8:30 pm
