Most New Yorkers would be hard pressed to tell you the last time they saw the Statue of Liberty up close, let alone set foot on Liberty Island—but that doesn’t mean we love our Lady any less! She symbolizes freedom, enlightenment, endurance, come-as-you-are open-mindedness ... Besides, as national monuments go, a mighty woman with a torch is something we can get behind.
To commemorate the 135th anniversary of the arrival of this gargantuan gift from France, and show some love for her Big Apple home base, we’ve assembled a collection of NYC-centric artworks. Get your fill of Gotham below.
And while we’re talking about testaments to liberty, democracy, and justice—today is Juneteenth, which should go ahead and be declared a national holiday already. (You can sign a petition here.) Read up on the significance of June 19th, 1865 if you need a refresher. And keep an eye on our socials this weekend: we’ll be spotlighting some Black artists from history to celebrate.
