RECENT HAPPENINGS:
The GFRAA was proud to announce a showing of some of its Collection of rare WPA
paintings. The exhibition took place at the Association’s mansion at 80 Belmont
St.
The collection represents works 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.
