America 250: Red, White or Blue
May 12 to June 20
RECEPTION: FRIDAY JUNE 12 th, 5-7 PM
commemorative exhibition presented by the
NRAA and hosted by Vanda Gallery, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The show brings together a diverse community of visual artists in a shared celebration of national identity, artistic expression, and collective history.
For me, this exhibition holds particular significance, as it reconnects me with the community I first began exhibiting my work with at the start of my artistic career.
As an Iranian American, I also carry a quiet sense of gratitude for the service and sacrifice of U.S. soldiers, and for the ways this country continues to support and stand with the Iranian people during this difficult times. Participating in this milestone event not only honors the nation’s legacy, but also reflects the resilience, solidarity, and shared hopes that connect countries across borders.
