The InstigatorCatch weekly virtual highlights from the current Forgotten Stories: Northwest Public Art of the 1930s
Facing the ongoing reality of remaining closed to the public, Hallie Ford Museum of Art is taking its offerings virtual in an effort to remain accessible to the public during these challenging times. From now and continuing into March, the museum is featuring weekly virtual highlights from the current Forgotten Stories: Northwest Public Art of the 1930s. This exhibition represents the first major exhibition to celebrate the bounty of artwork created in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana under the New Deal Federal Arts Projects in the 1930s during the Great Depression and offers timely inspiration during the pandemic.
