The highly anticipated Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US, an immersive public art installation made possible by The Soloviev Foundation, will host its official ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 8, 2025. Opening to the public on May 15, 2025, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US showcases candid reflections on America’s founding pillars of liberty and equality through the lens of modern-day experiences.
The May 8 ceremony will welcome special guests and notable community figures, including multiple GRAMMY-winning artist Lenny Kravitz, who served as a member of the distinguished panel for the Future Generations Essay Contest. As part of the evening, Kravitz will speak on the enduring theme of freedom and join The Soloviev Foundation in announcing the essay contest’s student winners—young voices from across New York City who shared personal insights on the meaning of liberty and its evolving role in American democracy.
Spanning over six-acres on Manhattan’s East Side from 38th to 41st Street on First Avenue, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US offers an immersive journey through 250 years of American history, highlighting the nation’s progress, challenges, and triumphs. The experience is brought to life through 41 large-scale screens that feature breathtaking photographs and compelling audio interviews of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, social, and professional backgrounds whose personal testimonies represent a rich cross-section of American life.
“Art has the power to bring communities together and open our eyes to our collective strength,” said Stefan Soloviev, Principal of The Soloviev Foundation and Chairman of the Soloviev Group. “We are proud to support an installation that showcases 250 years of American history and fosters meaningful connections and reflection. Path of Libertyis a tribute to our shared ideals and a reminder that liberty is an ongoing journey that requires all of us to take part.”
“Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US is a call to come together through art, history, and shared experiences,” said Michael Hershman, CEO of Soloviev Group. “We are proud to provide a platform for voices that speak to the enduring relevance of liberty and equality and create an opportunity for people to look back on our past and look forward to a future of collaboration and mutual understanding.”
“Freedom is a vital, underlying right. These students have exercised their freedom in a thoughtful way that should be a model for all of us. I’m grateful for the Path of Liberty to help us reflect on America’s rich history as we approach its 250th anniversary,” said Kravitz.
