Passport To Patriotism

A Nationwide Creative Call to Action

Passport to Patriotism is one of our flagship initiatives. Created in collaboration with Crayola Learning and inspired by the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies program, this national campaign gives children the opportunity to explore American identity through drawing, painting, and storytelling.

Children ages 5–15 are invited to submit artwork that reflects what patriotism means to them—drawing inspiration from freedom, unity, heritage, and America’s cultural ties around the world. Families and educators participate through guided prompts and direct submission options.

With creative direction from Crayola and outreach supported by Art in Embassies, the campaign builds a national gallery of hope, unity, and vision—created by the next generation of American voices.
