An Exhibition Celebrating the American Spirit Through Art and Diplomacy

Passport to Patriotism is a museum exhibition that explores how creativity, civic identity, and cultural diplomacy shape the story of America.

Presented in collaboration with the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies (AIE) program, the exhibition examines the ways in which American artists, institutions, and audiences express shared ideals of freedom, unity, and progress through visual art.

Through this project, the American Arts Conservancy (AAC) works alongside AIE curators to highlight the role of American art in connecting communities and strengthening cultural understanding around the world.

Mission Alignment

Passport to Patriotism advances AAC’s three founding pillars:

• Diplomacy: Using art as a bridge to foster dialogue and understanding across nations

• Education: Empowering audiences with access to cultural knowledge and creative literacy

• Legacy: Preserving and promoting the works and values that define American artistic heritage
