Art in Embassies' statement: “Art is, in essence, visual diplomacy. It accelerates cultural connection, sparks conversation, and helps diplomats convey who we all are as Americans. Art in Embassies creates exhibitions, installations, exchanges, and public programming that convey how art can transcend national borders and foster connections among people around the world.”
