On exhibit at Wanskuck Branch Library...See History through a Gallery of Our Nation's Art!
...now through May 30
In an extension of National Art Month, Wanskuck Branch Library presents Picturing America an exhibit of 40 works of art made possible through We the People: NEH's American History Program. The first 20 images will be on exhibit through April 30; the second 20 images will be exhibited through May 30.
Please join us on these dates, when there will be a brief explanation and discussion of each set of artwork:
THURSDAY, APRIL 30 6:30 - 7:30 PM
THURSDAY, MAY 14 6:30 - 7:30 PM
A non-circulating resource book is available with more details on the works.
Picturing America tells the story of America through its art. Our nation is united by our devotion to shared ideals. Great American art can help us ensure these ideals are studied, passed on, and remembered.
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) developed Picturing America as a tool to help teach American history and provide students with a gateway to the entire universe of the humanities. It features works by artists ranging from early American Indian artists to painters Mary Cassatt and Thomas Hart Benton; from photographers Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange to architects Frank Lloyd Wright and William Van Alen.
