Picturing America

Marilyn Cook & Kathy Caldwell
Picturing America

“Great art speaks powerfully, inspires us to think new thoughts, and connects us to our past.”

Picturing America, an exciting new initiative from the National Endowment for the Humanities, brings masterpieces of American art into classrooms and libraries nationwide. Through this innovative program, students and citizens gain a deeper appreciation of our country’s history and character through the study and understanding of its art.

A set is currently on display through a grant won by the Bill Ellis Memorial Library. Visitors will get the chance to view 40 high-quality reproductions of notable American art on view in our public library for our community and visitors to enjoy. This grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities gives our community the opportunity to learn about our nation’s history and culture through our nation’s artistic heritage—our paintings, sculpture, architecture, fine crafts and photography.
