Bringing iconic American art into public and private schools, libraries, and communities offers Americans everywhere the opportunity to learn about our nation’s history and culture in a fresh and engaging way. Picturing America uses art as a catalyst for the study of American history—the cultural, political, and historical threads woven into our nation's fabric over time. The Picturing America brochure (6-page PDF) provides additional information. See “Art and the American Story” by Maggie Riechers from the September/October 2007 issue of Humanities magazine.
