Wednesday Morning Discussion Group - December 17

Published on December 12, 2008 by Alissa Wilkinson

We are once again meeting on Wednesday morning, this time to talk a little about FDR's programs for writers and artists in the '30s (the Federal Writers Project and Federal Art Project). We'll look at some of the materials and talk about the work that was produced, plus the philosophical, economic, and creative implications.

Streets (on the upper level). Come ready to discuss within IAM's framework of art, faith, and humanity!
