About the Exhibition

My America is South Shore Arts’ first themed Salon Show. The exhibition invites artists to engage with the United States’ semi-quincentennial through a personal lens. What do 250 years of “America” mean to you? Is it celebrated, critiqued, or reimagined? Do you look back on the often-complicated history of the past 250 years, observe the present with all its strengths and challenges, or imagine the future? Ultimately, artists are asked to reflect on one essential question: What is My America?
