America Abroad: Art as Diplomacy

In collaboration with the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies (FAPE), International Arts & Artists is proud to tour America Abroad: Art as Diplomacy. The exhibition marks the 250th anniversary of the United States and FAPE’s 40th year of operations in 2026. America Abroad showcases approximately 65 works from FAPE's Original Print and Photography Collections. It will invite American audiences to consider how our freedom of expression has evolved since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. The exhibition will prompt visitors to explore how artists have used those rights to share their ideas, inspire others, and build bridges between different communities around the world.

For nearly 40 years, FAPE has been the public-private partnership dedicated to providing permanent works of American art for U.S. embassies worldwide. FAPE enhances our country's diplomatic efforts by contributing artworks that serve as "silent ambassadors," bridging cultures and fostering mutual understanding.

America Abroad: Art as Diplomacy will tour from 2026 to 2030 and is now open for bookings.
