From the famous names whose works grace museum walls to the countless anonymous craftspeople who adorned courthouse domes and theater lobbies, American artists have woven themselves into the very fabric of our built environment. During the month of August, we celebrate the artists whose creativity and visions shape our landscapes, communities, and cultural memory.

Allyn Cox (1896–1982) devoted much of his career to documenting American history through monumental murals, most notably at the U.S. Capitol. When he passed away before completing his vision for the House Wing corridors, EverGreene was selected to carry it forward. Working from Cox’s original sketches, our artists designed and painted 26 new murals in situ.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) transformed American decorative arts through his innovative stained glass, mosaics, and ornamental design. His work brought extraordinary color, light, and craftsmanship to public buildings, churches, and private residences. At Chicago’s Cultural Center, EverGreene conserved Tiffany’s iconic glass mosaics and stained glass.

Hildreth Meière (1892-1962) completed approximately 100 commissions over her 40-year career. She designed murals for for commercial and government buildings all over the country, including for some of the world’s fair pavilions. EverGreene restored her mural at Kansas City Union Station and her Art Deco designs at Temple Emanu-El.

Henry Bacon (1866–1924) envisioned the Lincoln Memorial as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln, pairing classical architecture with Daniel Chester French’s iconic sculpture to create one of America’s greatest civic monuments. EverGreene participated in the memorial’s restoration, safeguarding Bacon’s enduring legacy.

Daniel Chester French (1850–1931) was one of America’s foremost sculptors, renowned for monuments that embody the nation’s ideals and history. Among his most celebrated works is Alma Mater, the iconic bronze sculpture that has welcomed generations of students to Columbia University since 1903.

Keith Haring (1958–1990) believed art belonged in public spaces, creating bold murals that blended social activism with an unmistakable visual style. EverGreene has been entrusted with the conservation of several of his iconic murals, so Haring’s powerful message continues to resonate with audiences today.
