On July 4th, we reflect on the evolving meaning of “We the People.” These works by Shepard Fairey, part of his "We the People" series (2017), confront exclusion and assert visibility, highlighting the values of dignity, protection, and courage in the face of fear.
We’re open late tonight for First Thursday (free for Bay Area residents!) and will be open July 4 with our regular hours. Just ask @ miss.hautemess—this one’s a must-see. Get your tickets at the link: bit.ly/4hTMUQq

What began as a demand for visibility has grown into a global celebration of love, identity, and resilience. 🏳️🌈 "Gay Liberation" (1970) was a chance for art to be used as a tool for visibility, protest, and empowerment in the LGBTQIA+ rights movement. #PrideMonth #LoveIsLove
On the road to the weekend 🚗 Joseph Stella, who emigrated from Italy to New York in 1896, was fascinated by the bridge, which he saw as a "shrine containing all the efforts of the new civilization of America." 📍 See Stella's "Bridge" (1936) on Floor 2.
