Art in a Season of Revolution
May 16 – Aug 2, 2026
Reception May 16, 2026 | 4-6 PM
EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE YOUR WORK AT ARTSWESTCHESTER!
Art in a Season of revolution is a call to action for artists of the Katonah Museum Artists’ Association (KMAA) to respond to the 250-year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was in 1776 that 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress signed this handwritten declaration committing to the colonies' separation from Great Britain. Since then, we’ve spent two and a half centuries constructing a unique identity, culture, attitude, and set of core values derived from our rich diversity and political history.
In additional to the contributions from The KMAA, a selection of small relief sculptures from The American Medallic Sculpture Association will be exhibited as well in addition to the inclusion of a few invited artists.
