Media Note

The U.S. Department of State’s Office of Art in Embassies (AIE) has partnered with the American Arts Conservancy (AAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing American art in cultural diplomacy, to broaden the global reach and resonance of U.S. artists.

Together, AIE and AAC will create new opportunities for American art to inspire dialogue, build connections, and reflect the nation’s creative excellence on the world stage. This partnership will support exhibitions in U.S. embassies and ambassadorial residences worldwide, develop engaging educational resources for audiences at home and abroad, and document landmark works to ensure their stories endure.

Planned initiatives include youth art programs designed to instill a passion for the arts, foster early appreciation and visual literacy, and inspire young people. Additional efforts will include artist exchanges that encourage creative collaboration and a permanent digital archive celebrating works featured in AIE projects. By combining AIE’s diplomatic platform with AAC’s private-sector support, the partnership will amplify the role of American visual art as a catalyst for understanding U.S. culture.
