About America’s Tapestry

On the eve of America's 250th Anniversary, America's Tapestry seeks to tell an inclusive story of individuals from our nation's past. Composed of thirteen embroidered panels, this modern interpretation of the Bayeux Tapestry visually narrates unique, untold stories from America’s thirteen colonies.

The panels will be designed by America’s Tapestry creative team in collaboration with historical organizations from each of the original thirteen colonies.

The execution of the embroidery will be completed by needleworkers within each state between 2025 and 2026. An appropriate gallery space will be designated to exhibit the completed tapestry in 2026.

Our Partners

We are commited to fostering inclusive, collaborative partnerships throughout the 13 states.

Historical organizations and cultural centres from New Hampshire to Georgia are interested in developing themes and imagery for each panel.

The panels will be stitched at heritage centres from 2025 to 2026, permitting audiences to visit and engage with this historic work and learn about the practice of needle art.

We aim to showcase each colony’s contribution to our struggle for independence and the untold stories of many who committed acts of bravery in pursuit of liberty.
