Asheville, NC.- Just opened at the Asheville Art Museum and on view until September 25, 2011 is “Artists at Work: American Printmakers and the WPA”. This exhibition showcases prints created under the Federal Art Project, a unit of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Created in 1935 to provide economic relief to Americans during the Great Depression, the WPA offered work to the unemployed on an unprecedented scale by spending money on a wide array of programs, including highways and building construction, reforestation and rural rehabilitation.
