Our GrantsAmerican Art Program 40th Anniversary Celebration

Since 1982, the American Art Program has supported wide-ranging collection projects and exhibitions at art museums in all 50 states. In commemoration of the program’s 40th anniversary, the Foundation partnered with the New-York Historical Society on a year-long series of virtual conversations moderated by field leaders and Luce grantees, past and present. With an eye toward the future, the participants will explore the role of the visual arts in an open and equitable society, and the capacity of art museums to challenge accepted histories, elevate under-represented voices, and host the critical conversations in which we need to engage.
