Art connects us to each other and the world we live in
We believe that art allows us a window into the perspectives, experiences, and viewpoints of others. As we strive to better engage our diverse audiences in active dialogues about the meaning and relevance of American art, the Hunter continues to reimagine and reinterpret American art itself.
Our programs and exhibitions are shaped by our commitment to representing a variety of experiences, cultures, and perspectives in hopes that visitors see art with new eyes—as a way to better understand both where we’ve been and where we are today.
