🇸🇰 Happy Slovak Constitution Day! 🇸🇰

Today, September 1, we proudly celebrate Slovak Constitution Day — and the friendship between Slovakia and the United States! 🇸🇰🤝🇺🇸

This year is especially meaningful as our celebration coincides with America’s 250th anniversary of independence — a wonderful opportunity to recognize the democratic values, friendships, and ties that have brought our two countries and our people together.

A very special thank you to the friends and partners who helped us celebrate this year:

🎗️ Secretary of State Robert Howden for his official proclamation honoring Slovak Constitution Day

💙❤️🤍 Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and the City of Dallas for lighting the KPMG Plaza monument in the Slovak national colors

🎗️ Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt for his proclamation celebrating Slovak Constitution Day and the special friendship between Oklahoma City and Slovakia

Seeing the Slovak colors shine in Dallas and receiving these proclamations is a wonderful reminder of how strong the 🇸🇰🇺🇸 friendship has become — and how much we have to celebrate together.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, I am especially grateful for these gestures of friendship and for everyone who continues to strengthen the bonds between Slovakia and the United States.

THE KING OF POP ART 🎨 WAS BORN 98 YEARS AGO

, we mark the 98th birth anniversary of Andy Warhol, one of the most influential and famous artists of the 20th century, whose work redefined what art could be.

Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh in 1928 to Andrej and Julia Warhola, Ruthenian immigrants from the eastern Slovak village of Miková, his rise from a working-class neighborhood to international fame stands as a powerful bridge between Slovakia and the United States 🇸🇰🇺🇸

As a leading artist of the 1960s Pop Art movement, Warhol ventured into a wide variety of art forms, including illustration, painting, photography, filmmaking, performance, and writing, boldly blurring the line between fine art and mainstream culture.

This shared cultural legacy is honored on both sides of the Atlantic: our Embassy fosters close cooperation with The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh as well as the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art in Medzilaborce - the world's first museum dedicated to his life and work, located near his ancestral roots - which celebrates its grand reopening on September 4th.

Andy Warhol once famously predicted that "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Decades later, his own legacy remains timeless, and we are proud to continue honoring and sharing his extraordinary story.

KRÁĽ POP-ARTU 🎨 SA NARODIL PRED 98 ROKMI

Dnes si pripomíname 98. výročie narodenia Andyho Warhola, jedného z najvplyvnejších a najznámejších umelcov 20. storočia, ktorý od základov zmenil spôsob, akým svet vníma umenie.

Narodil sa v Pittsburghu v roku 1928 ako Andrew Warhola rusínskym prisťahovalcom Andrejovi a Júlii Warholovým z východoslovenskej obce Miková. Jeho cesta z robotníckej štvrte až k celosvetovej sláve ako vedúcej osobnosti pop-artového hnutia 60. rokov tvorí dnes silný kultúrny most medzi Slovenskom a Spojenými štátmi 🇸🇰🇺🇸

Andy Warhol sa vo svojej tvorbe venoval širokej škále umeleckých foriem, vrátane ilustrácie, maľby, fotografie, filmovej tvorby, performance a písania, pričom stieral hranice medzi vysokým umením a komerčnou kultúrou.

Odkaz tohto vizionára dodnes žije na oboch stranách Atlantiku. Naše veľvyslanectvo úzko spolupracuje s Múzeom Andyho Warhola v Pittsburghu, ako aj s Múzeom moderného umenia Andyho Warhola v Medzilaborciach - prvým múzeom na svete venovaným jeho osobnosti, ktoré už o mesiac, 4. septembra, čaká slávnostné znovuotvorenie.

Andy Warhol raz vyhlásil, že „v budúcnosti bude každý na 15 minút slávny“. Jeho odkaz však zostáva nadčasový a jeho výnimočný životný príbeh rezonuje dodnes.

🇸🇰🇺🇸

🇸🇰⚾️ HISTORICKÝ MOMENT PRE SLOVENSKÝ BASEBALL
Adam Macko vstúpil 18. mája 2026 do histórie — stal sa prvým hráčom narodeným na Slovensku, ktorý nastúpil v MLB. A urobil to vo veľkom štýle — priamo v New Yorku, proti New York Yankees.
1 inning. 15 nadhodov. 10 strikeov. 0 hitov. 0 behov. ERA 0.00. ✅
Z Bratislavy cez Írsko a Albertu až na Yankee Stadium. Cesta snov. Len začiatok. 💪
