SUMMARY:"Landmarks & Legacies" Photo Contest
DESCRIPTION:The Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area has opened its annual photo contest after a two-year hiatus – and there are new twists.“We’ve had so many great entries in past years that we wanted to offer our local photographers something new\,” said MSNHA Program Director Jessie Johnson. “We hope these changes— adding the theme ‘Landmarks & Legacies\,’ emphasizing creativity and giving photographers a long window of opportunity — will get our entrants excited about going in a different direction. We’re especially delighted to connect this year’s photo contest with America250\, the initiative to celebrate and commemorate America’s Semiquincentennial.”In addition\, winning and other selected submissions will be featured in an exhibit co-hosted by Florence Arts and Museums\, Oct. 12-Nov. 13.Entries can be submitted digitally at MSNHA’s website\, https://msnha.una.edu/. Deadline is Friday\, Aug. 28. Photos must be taken within the past 18 months in one of MSNHA’s six counties (Colbert\, Franklin\, Lauderdale\, Lawrence\, Limestone and Morgan). Guidelines and the submission form are at https://msnha.una.edu/.“We wanted our theme to be dynamic and flexible enough to inspire creativity. We also wanted to help entrants share their stories of meaningful places and people\,” Johnson said. “Even though Alabama was not a state 250 years ago when the Declaration of Independence was signed\, we hope our entrants can capture the spirit of America’s beginnings through this year’s ‘Landmarks and Legacy’ theme. We can’t wait to see the results!”Questions? Email msnha@una.edu.

SUMMARY:Celebrating America’s 250th: American Art Galleries
DESCRIPTION:Spanning nearly 250 years of artistic expression\, the American art galleries explore how artists have interpreted the nation’s history\, culture\, and identity from the early republic to the present day. Featuring artworks from the museum’s permanent collection—including works by Thomas Hart Benton\, Milton Avery\, Lilla Cabot Perry\, Claes Oldenburg\, and other influential artists—these galleries reveal the many ways artists have responded to the American experience. \n\n\n\nThe presentation is further enriched by important loans from institutions including the Toledo Museum of Art\, the Art Bridges Foundation\, and the DeMell Jacobsen Foundation. \n\n\n\nAs the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, these galleries offer an opportunity to reflect on the evolving story of American art. Across generations\, artists have documented the people\, places\, and ideas that have shaped the nation while also questioning and expanding the narratives that define it. \n\n\n\nOrganized into thematic sections\, the galleries examine how artists have depicted the American experience in all its complexity. From early portraiture and sweeping landscapes to the bold experiments of modern and contemporary art\, the works on view reveal how artistic styles\, ideas\, and perspectives have evolved over time.
