In anticipation of America’s forthcoming 250th Anniversary, (beginning Memorial Day 2025 and culminating July 4  2025), and in collaboration with COGAP (The United States Coast Guard Art Program), the Salmagundi Club is proud to announce: To Thee We Sing. This exhibition will be a visual tribute by Salmagundi photographers to Americana, the nautical spirit & the American experience.

This show, a collective visual chorus, honors Americana in all its forms: the majesty of our maritime history, the richness of our diverse cultural fabric, and the iconic symbols that define the American spirit. From harbor lights to main street parades, this exhibition seeks to capture the essence of a nation: its traditions, service and its people. As our country leans into its next chapter, let this exhibition be a beacon of inspiration, gratitude, and celebration.
