African American Art: Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era, and Beyond
Opening February 1, 2013 at the Mennello Museum of American Art in Orlando, Florida.
 The Mennello Museum is one of a handful of venues presenting this exclusive selection of paintings, sculpture, prints and photographs by 43 black artists who explored the African American experience from the Harlem Renaissance through the Civil Rights era and the decades beyond, which saw tremendous social and political changes.
Annie Leibovitz: PilgrimageOpening February 15, 2013 at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This exhibition charts a new direction for one of America's best-known living photographers. Unlike her staged and carefully lit portraits made on assignment for magazines and advertising clients, the photographs in this exhibition were taken simply because Leibovitz was moved by the subject. The images speak in a commonplace language to the photographer's curiosity about the world she inherited, spanning landscapes both dramatic and quiet, interiors of living rooms and bedrooms, and objects that are talismans of past lives. 1934: A New Deal for Artists
 The Public Works of Art Project was the first federal program to support the arts. In 1934 the PWAP employed thousands of artists to paint regional, recognizable subjects-from portraits to cityscapes and street scenes to landscapes and rural life. This exhibition was organized to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the PWAP, presenting 56 vibrant paintings from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's unparalleled collection.The Art of Video Games
