“We must draw a new America as we are the picture makers.” —Bryan Stevenson

From Pride to Election Day 2026, the Brooklyn Museum marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with Drawing America: US@250.

Featuring dynamic art installations, audio tours, programs, a Free Speech Factory Outlet pop-up in the Museum Shop, and partnerships, Drawing America honors those who have imagined a more equitable future and fought for the promise of our democracy—and those who continue to do so today.

Common Sense, on view now in the Beaux-Arts Court, aims to put America’s past in dialogue with its present.
