Michener Art Museum commemorates America’s 250th with new piece by Roberto Lugo

The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, unveiled a permanent, site-specific ceramic vessel by Philadelphia-based artist Roberto Lugo on June 5, 2026, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Titled "Permanence: We Were Here," the four-foot-tall work incorporates the history of the museum's location within the walls of the former Bucks County Jail, which opened in 1884. Lugo drew inspiration from "Pine Street Express," a series of newsletters created by incarcerated individuals in the 1970s, integrating a flower drawing from those newsletters into the upper portion of the vessel. The lower half depicts the prison's stone walls, which still form the museum's entrance. The piece was commissioned with a grant from Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development, awarded by state Sen. Steve Santarsiero.
