Block Party: Community and Celebration in American Art
Block Party: Community and Celebration in American Art will be on view from June 25, 2023 through September 17th.
This exhibition takes as its point of departure the World War I innovation of the urban “block party,” and uses it as a lens to view ideas on belonging, activism, and mutual solidarity in historical and contemporary American art. Drawn largely from the Museum’s permanent collection, amplified by key loans from distinguished public and private collections, the show coincides with the 250th anniversary of Westmoreland County.
