In celebration of the creative spirit in America at 250 and beyond, The Art of Democracy is a non-partisan online art gallery and poetry anthology project, a time capsule, a mirror. In this call for art and poetry, we seek original works by a diverse range of established and emerging artists and poets living across the United States depicting the themes and aspirations of democracy such as freedom, equity, justice, and the constitutional right to vote.
