Exploring New Deal Art at The Wolfsonian–FIU, Friday, September 27, 2024
Seeking solutions for widespread unemployment during the Great Depression, the U.S. government embarked on New Deal programs that commissioned out-of-work artists. These initiatives produced paintings, sculptures, and murals, some of which still adorn public buildings today. Sit down with curator Lea Nickless and Marianne Lamonaca, former Wolfsonian chief curator and current FIU program director of The Humanities Edge, as they explore the New Deal works in The Big World: Alternative Landscapes in the Modern Era and discuss their enduring legacies.
