Reflections of america at 250

A Group Exhibition at the Ross Art Museum

As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, "Reflections of America at 250" invites artists to explore the people, places, ideals, histories, and experiences that have shaped the nation. This exhibition seeks diverse perspectives on what America has been, what it is today, and what it may become in the future.

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Works may celebrate moments of achievement, examine complex histories, reflect on personal or community experiences, explore cultural identity, or envision the evolving American landscape. Through painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and other artistic practices, this exhibition aims to create a multifaceted portrait of a nation at a significant milestone.

Join the Ohio Art League in commemorating 250 years of American history through artwork that inspires reflection, conversation, and imagination about the American experience.

Open to all media. Contemporary and traditional interpretations of the theme are welcome.

Entries will be juried from digital submissions by a panel of peer jurors made up of two Ohio Art League board members.
