Please join us in-person to hear from the artists Craig Easton\, Drew Leventhal\, Lisa Elmaleh\, Rich Frishman\, and Vicky Sambunaris\, who will share with us the creative process behind their works. \nThe artist panel will be followed by a reception for the exhibition. \nThe Griffin Museum’s exhibition Manifest Destiny revisits this legacy through a contemporary lens\, bringing together photographers who investigate the layered histories held within the American landscape. The artists in this exhibition create images that bear witness to transformation\, revealing human stories embedded in the land’s somber monumentality. Here\, the emptiness of the landscape becomes a site of tension—between absence and presence\, memory and erasure. \nFeaturing the work of American and international artists Scott Conarroe\, Craig Easton\, Lisa Elmaleh\, Rich Frishman\, Drew Leventhal\, and Victoria Sambunaris\, Manifest Destiny invites viewers to reconsider the narratives that have shaped our national identity. \nManifest Destiny is part of a broader\, year-long series of exhibitions titled State of Our Union. The four exhibitions presented in 2026 examine the United States as it celebrates its 250th anniversary—through its landscape\, its culture\, and its people.
