Spotlight Talk: Wharton Esherick, February, and the Works Progress Administration

Join us on Tuesday, February 24th at noon for an exploration of Wharton Esherick’s print February, included in the Works Progress Administration’s American Block Print Calendar in 1937. During the program we’ll also highlight Esherick’s interest in the WPA’s Index of American Design, a book compiling over 18,000 watercolors of American folk and decorative art that was meant to identify and preserve a core American design aesthetic.

This is a free online event; advance reservations are required. There will be time for Q&A at the end of the conversation. Please register below to receive instructions on how to join us! If able, please consider a $5 donation to support our ongoing programs. Donate HERE.
