Obama Presidential Center Announces Jack Pierson Comission

10 September 2025

The Obama Foundation announced today an additional group of ten celebrated artists whose commissioned work will be featured across the Obama Presidential Center’s expansive campus, the vast majority of which is free and open to the public.

Their forthcoming installations are part of the Center’s initiative to commission over 25+ new site-specific works, ranging from monumental sculptures to intimate murals and immersive environments. The result is a bold, multidisciplinary arts program that will animate nearly every corner of the Center, inside and out.

For the museum's entry pavilion, Jack Pierson has been commissioned to create one of his iconic word sculptures from found letters, spelling HOPE, referencing the artist's use of nostalgic Americana and echoing President Obama’s defining campaign message.
