ONLINE EXHIBITION FOR 2026, POST 35

Becoming: America at 250
Photographs by Dennis Church

These are tumultuous times. However, America has never been a finished idea. At 250 years old, the nation remains in a constant state of becoming − shaped by land, labor, belief, conflict, and quiet endurance. This year-long online photographic exhibition honors the 250th anniversary of the United States and will be drawn from both new photographs and the artist’s five-decade archive.

The exhibition will unfold steadily across online platforms over the year culminating in a book Becoming: America 250. The book is now available to pre-order on the Art Farm Iowa website. Archival, limited exhibition prints are also available.

About Dennis

Dennis Church is an American photographer whose work transforms everyday moments into vibrant, graphic images. Raised on a small farm in rural Iowa, he began photographing in 1975 and has since exhibited widely in the U.S. and internationally. His work appears in Bystander: A History of Street Photography, and his recent books include AMERICOLOR (2024) and DIRT FRESH (forthcoming in 2026). Church lives and works in Delray Beach, Florida, finding color, humor, and meaning in the ordinary.
