 From Civil War-era flags and Native American moccasins to political campaign buttons and original flag art, Long May She Wave: A Graphic History of the American Flag assembles nearly 5,000 American flag-related objects and artifacts from the private collection of Kit Hinrichs, one of the world’s leading graphic designers and a partner in the international design firm, Pentagram. Together, the range of objects and memorabilia presented in Long May She Wave comprise their own genre of folk art and are a unique part of the American heritage—revealing the history, culture, and political climate of the United States. Additional support provided by American Family Insurance and AT & T Nevada, together with the Nevada Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Our sponsors have proudly underwritten free admission for retired and active military personnel and their families throughout the exhibition The Nevada museum is the oldest cultural institution in the state of Nevada. Founded in 1931 as the Nevada Art Gallery by Dr. James Church and Charles F. Cutts, the organization provides a forum for community visual arts activities, exhibitions, and artists. With Cutt's bequest of his Ralston Street home and collection in 1949, the Gallery obtained a facility and the foundation of a permanent collection.
