To acknowledge the U.S. semi-quincentennial in 2026, the Nevada Museum of Art presents Broad Stripes Bright Stars: Celebrating 250 Years of America’s Icons, an exhibition featuring hundreds of objects from the collection of Kit Hinrichs, a prominent San Francisco graphic designer and private collector. Broad Stripes Bright Stars will span multiple galleries, featuring iconic American symbols such as Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty, alongside a wide range of handmade works, including quilts, needlework, folk art, and sculpture. The exhibition also presents historic and contemporary objects related to politics and the military, such as protest posters, recruitment materials, and toy soldiers. A special collection of Stars and Stripes objects commemorates 250 years of American life, featuring historic flags from the pre–Civil War era to the present, as well as patriotic fans, stamps, toys, games, and commercial memorabilia.
Complementing the exhibition is a comprehensive 280-page book that captures the collection’s eclectic spirit.
This exhibit was organized by Studio Hinrichs, San Francisco.
