In 2024, BRAHM was awarded the prestigious IMLS “Inspire! Small Museums” grant. The goal of this project was to build community and promote neural plasticity amongst senior citizens living in Watauga County using their particular love of fiber arts. This grant funded a series of peer-led workshops in a variety of fiber media, all of which were free to the public and took place at the Lois E Harrill Senior Center in Boone, and the Western Watauga Community Center in Sugar Grove, NC. The works in the exhibition were created during these workshops or illustrate techniques taught in the workshops.

In this talk, Elizabeth Chew will consider how art shaped Americans' perceptions of the American Revolution. Works of art created during and after the war enabled Americans (first as colonists, then as citizens of a new country) to picture the stories and heroes of the fight for independence. Furthermore, works by artists Charles Willson Peale, John Singleton Copley, John Trumbull, and others provided Americans with a shared origin story for their new nation.
