What phrase in the Declaration of Independence stands out to you? Could you convey these statements artistically? Seven local artists did just that as part of the Society’s America 250 Public Art contest this spring. As a special treat, the Society will open on July 4 from 4 – 5:30 pm to introduce winning entries graphically detailing the story of the Declaration of Independence. The artwork conveys the concepts of shared community values, civic identity, equality, fairness, belonging, individual rights, the purpose and process of government, civic commitment, and the duty to life.
