See America
Great Smoky Mountains National Park by Emily Kelley
Over 75 years ago the government first commissioned posters to showcase the country’s most stunning natural features under the banner “See America”. The Creative Action Network (CAN) has set out to do it again by launching a new version of See America, a crowdsourced art campaign, enlisting artists from all 50 states to create a collection of artwork celebrating our national parks and other treasured sites.
To date the project has collected over 500 posters, and a significant portion of any proceeds go directly to the artists. To see all the posters, or to learn about contributing, click here.
