In celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, the Academy Art Museum proudly announces its feature exhibition, From Sea to Shining Sea: American Landscape Painting, 1850–1950. Containing more than 40 paintings from a private Eastern Shore collection, the exhibition is a visual “road trip” across the rich and varied American landscape, from Maine and the Northeast to Puerto Rico and the West Coasts of California and Oregon.
Bear Me Into Freedom Showing
Bear Me Into Freedom: Frederick Douglass and the Struggle for America’s Promise is a tribute to Talbot County’s native son, Frederick Douglass, made more poignant during America’s Semiquincentennial.
The exhibition is a 60-minute immersive experience, a video installation portraying the odyssey of Frederick Douglass from his birth and enslavement in the Eastern Shore’s Talbot County to his life’s work championing abolition, emancipation, and equal rights, and his triumphal return to the county as an elder statesman having become one of the most consequential figures of the 19th century.
