Stockton University Noyes Art Gallery at Kramer Hall - Opening Reception for Daniel Robert Horne’s “What Does It Mean To Be An American?” / 1-29-26

Celebrate the newest exhibition during the opening reception for Daniel Robert Horne’s What Does It Mean To Be An American? All are welcome to meet the artist, check out the portraits, and enjoy live music by James Melton.

About the exhibition: "What Does It Mean to Be An American?" brings together Daniel Robert Horne’s portraits of explorers, thinkers, activists, and everyday people, reminding us that the American identity is not defined by a single figure or moment, but by a diverse mosaic of stories. From frontier pioneers and revolutionary leaders to abolitionists, cultural trailblazers, and modern citizens, each portrait reflects a different facet of the nation’s evolving character.

Together, these works invite viewers to consider how courage, resilience, creativity, and hope shape the ongoing story of America, and how individuals from every walk of life contribute to its meaning.
