Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The federal government and a non-profit arts organization are partnering to give U.S. artists a global canvas upon which they can share their works overseas.

The State Department's Office of Art in Embassies and the non-profit American Arts Conservancy aim to create new opportunities for American artists to share their creative works with the world at U.S. embassies.

"Together, AIE and AAC will create new opportunities for American art to inspire dialogue, build connections and reflect the nation's creative excellence on the world stage," the State Department announced Wednesday in a news release.

"This partnership will support exhibitions in U.S. embassies and ambassadorial residences worldwide, develop engaging education resources for audiences at home and abroad and document landmark works to ensure their stories endure," State Department officials said.
