If democracy is to work, we must appreciate and nurture social solidarity, and encourage a culture of citizenship rooted in goodwill and good faith. We are citizens, members of the political community, which drives democracy. American Civic Forum works to elevate citizenship to its rightful place not only in American politics but in American culture, a culture that cherishes our nation’s philosophy of governance, and where all citizens—even those not directly involved in the political sphere—see themselves as the living heart of the republic. American Civic Forum is showcasing a POSTER EXHIBITION ENTITLED DEMOCRATIC VALUES at the gallery Hamilton Ink Spot in downtown St. Paul, MN These posters will reflect be created by artists making new American Bank Notes that portray our cultural and political identity to memorialize a dazzling array of events and people, to define, celebrate and defend our democratic value.
The voters of Minnesota through a grant make this activity possible from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
