ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In his 1944 folk anthem "This Land Is Your Land," Woody Guthrie imagined a place of true belonging—a landscape where people could move freely, unimpeded by rigid boundaries. 

With dozens of artworks from LUAG’s collection alongside historic images and artifacts from the C.F. Martin & Co. Archives, "This Land" challenges traditional notions of "America" and "Americans". On September 1, be among the first to experience the exhibition, which includes a listening room, interactive library space, and thought-provoking works that explore themes of identity, belonging, and our shared histories.
