    Art Encounters: The American Dream

    September 19, 2025
    12:30pm - 1:30pm

    The American Dream is an interactive two-part workshop exploring the origin and evolution of the myth of the American Dream.

    Join Benton educators for an interactive two-part workshop exploring our new exhibition Encounters with the Collection: Exploring America at 250. We will examine works like Robert Indiana’s Demuth American Dream, while discussing the context around the idea of the American Dream.

    After some close looking at the gallery we will head to the education center and design our own postage stamp using a variety of art supplies.
