Fairfield University Art Museum opened its major loan exhibition 'For Which It Stands…' on January 22, 2026. The exhibition, curated over five years, features over 70 works depicting the American flag from World War I-era pieces to contemporary art, sourced from 48 lenders across the United States.
The exhibition serves as the museum's semiquincentennial event, aiming to inspire reflection on American history and identity through diverse artistic perspectives on the flag. It includes both patriotic and protest-oriented works, framing the flag as a complex symbol central to national dialogue, and will be on view through July 2026.
