We were happy to partner with America250PADelco on this project. Below is an excerpt from the project summary available on their website. Read the full thing HERE!
“America250PADelco partnered with the Media Arts Council to design a series of banners connected to national moments in advancing democracy as part of our local U.S. Semiquincentennial celebration.
Each banner features an image of an artwork or portrait representing a significant historical moment that occurred in Delaware County. The banners will be displayed at the Delaware County Courthouse in Media through December 2026.
The Declaration of Independence sets the framework for our year-long public U.S. Semiquincentennial celebration. Throughout the year, Americans are reflecting on the guiding statement of the Declaration of Independence - "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness' while considering the complex 250-year journey of advancing democracy.
"Forging Freedom: Delaware County's Role in the American Experiment” public art installation was generously made possible by The Delaware County Economic Development Corporation.
We'd like to thank and recognize Delaware County for permission to install on the historic Delaware County Courthouse and the expertise of the Public Affairs office and Visit Delco in helping to promote this inaugural celebration.
This project would not be possible without the expertise of Jeff Thomas at the Media Arts Council.
In addition, licensing for 'The Nation Makers' by Howard Pyle was contributed by Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art.
Banners were installed and American-made in Delco by Roe Solutions Group: Fabricators | Berry And Homer.”
