Seeing America
Seeing America celebrates the visual stories captured by amateur and professional photographers on travels to big cities and small towns, in the mountains and on the seashores, in the corn fields and marshes of the land we call home.
Among the images submitted, landscapes, weather events, people, statements, architecture, pastimes, roadside attractions, and of course…cowboys. It’s a wonderful exhibit that showcases the people, places, and scenes that constitute your America.
“Seeing America is the result of 55 distinctive photographic interpretations of our country. Setting out with a camera and a personal vision, each artist shows us a new way of looking at America.” Eric Lindberg, Juror
