Rare WPA Paintings

at the Greater Fall River Art Association

Sunday, 04/04/2010 – 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM

The Greater Fall River Art Association is proud to announce a showing of some of its

Collection of rare WPA paintings.

 

This collection represents work by regional artists produced in the mid 1930’s as part of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, a federal program to create work for artists during the Great Depression.  Murals, canvases and sculptures were made to decorate post offices, schools and other public buildings, executed for little money but with great pride.  Many of these works have been destroyed or stolen over the years and GFRAA considers it an honor to be custodian of part of this national treasure.
