The Samsung Art Store America 250 celebration brings the nation’s semiquincentennial into the home through three new art collections created for Samsung Art TVs. In a moment when America is preparing to mark 250 years, Samsung is using the living room as a gallery, a gathering place, and a quiet space for reflection.
That is a powerful idea. A nation’s story is never told by one image alone. It is told through portraits, postcards, street art, fireworks, symbols, memory, struggle, celebration, and the people who keep adding new brushstrokes to the American canvas.
Samsung’s new curations, selected by lead curator Daria Greene, span early American history, modern masters, and festive Fourth of July imagery. Together, they offer a visual journey from the founding era to the electric creative pulse of 1980s New York.
Art Meets America’s Semiquincentennial
America’s 250th birthday is more than a date on a calendar. It is a chance to look at how culture carries memory.
The Samsung Art Store America 250 collections bring that idea to Samsung Art TVs through museum partnerships, historic works, and bold contemporary imagery. Instead of art living only behind museum walls, these collections place it inside the spaces where families talk, remember, debate, celebrate, and pass stories forward.
Daria Greene, Global Head of Content & Curation at Samsung, described the anniversary as an invitation to reflect on how art has captured American life, imagination, and celebration. That is the heart of this launch.
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: America at 250
Now available, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston collection opens the celebration with a look back at America’s early chapters.
The curation is anchored by Gilbert Stuart’s unfinished portrait of George Washington, the image that later became the model for the one-dollar bill. That alone makes the collection feel like a portal into American visual history.
Yet the collection does not stop there. It also includes Native American art from the museum’s collection and vintage Fourth of July postcards. Those pieces add texture. They show how Independence Day has been imagined, celebrated, and remembered across generations.
This is where the collection becomes more than patriotic décor. It becomes a conversation.
America at 250
Launching June 29, America at 250 leans into the color and spectacle of the Fourth of July.
This collection brings together familiar American motifs, fireworks, and bold red, white, and blue imagery from Samsung Art Store partners. It is designed for homes where the holiday is not just watched but felt.
There is something almost ceremonial about placing art on the screen before the cookout, before the fireworks, before the family photo. The television becomes less of a black rectangle and more of a digital front porch.
American Masters
Also arriving June 29, American Masters celebrates 20th-century artists who helped shape American visual culture.
The curation includes works from Samsung Art Store museum partners such as the Art Institute of Chicago, SFMOMA, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It also features exclusive works from Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
That matters. Haring and Basquiat brought the language of the street, the urgency of youth, and the raw energy of New York into the broader art world. Their inclusion reminds us that American art is not frozen in marble. It moves. It argues. It dances in spray paint and line work.
Bringing Museum-Quality Art Home
The Samsung Art Store now includes more than 5,000 artworks from more than 800 artists and institutions. It is available in more than 115 countries and continues to expand across Samsung screens, including The Frame Pro, The Frame, Micro RGB, Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, and select QLED TVs.
For these new anniversary collections, Samsung also points to The Frame Pro, The Frame, and S95H OLED as key showcases. These models feature Pantone Validated ArtfulColor, designed to keep colors and tones close to the artist’s intent.
The Frame lineup also offers customizable bezels, flush wall mounting, and Glare Free technology. The S95H OLED adds Samsung’s FloatLayer design, giving the screen a lighter, almost floating presence.
A Living Room Gallery for a Living History
The Samsung Art Store America 250 launch arrives at the crossroads of technology, history, and culture.
It reminds us that art is one of the ways a country sees itself. Sometimes clearly. Sometimes imperfectly. Sometimes in fragments. Yet every fragment matters.
For America’s 250th anniversary, Samsung is not just offering screen savers with style. It is offering a curated visual archive for the home. From Washington’s unfinished portrait to Basquiat’s unmistakable edge, the collections invite viewers to look again at the American story.
And maybe that is the point. A nation is never finished. Like a canvas, it is still being worked on.
