Six-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree Amy Grant will release The Me That Remains on Friday via Thirty Tigers. The project marks Grant’s first collection of all-original songs in 13 years and offers a deeply personal reflection from the beloved artist now more than 50 years into her groundbreaking career.

The exhibit will showcase Wayne Brezinka’s original mixed-media artwork created for the cover of The Me That Remains. Reflecting the album’s themes of memory and reconstruction, the piece was assembled from meaningful fragments of Grant’s life, including pieces of a treasured quilt, seashells from her collection, her childhood Bible, and an article about her grandfather.
The limited-time exhibit will feature an extraordinary collection of rare and personal artifacts from Grant’s life and groundbreaking career, including her prestigious 1994 Pax Christi Award, accompanied by congratulatory letters from six U.S. presidents, the original Western Union telegram sent to her college dorm announcing her first GRAMMY® nomination, and rare early-career photographs captured by renowned photographer Mark Pleasant. The temporary display also includes additional surprises!
Now 65, Grant remains a singular figure in American music. She has garnered more than 2.2 billion global streams, sold over 30 million albums worldwide, and became the first artist in Contemporary Christian Music to achieve a platinum record, reach No. 1 on the pop charts, and perform at the GRAMMY Awards. A trailblazer whose career has spanned church pews to arena stages, Grant returns with a record rooted in hard-won perspective and the enduring strength of the woman who remains.
The Amy Grant Pop-Up Exhibit will be included with museum admission. Purchase tickets here.
