Second Chance at Art for the Millions
Hey, isn’t it at little late for this? The date on Ian Lynam’s excellent poster for Art for the Millions: The Enduring Legacy of the WPA is past, but you get a second chance. Last Sunday’s tour filled before Marc Moscato of the Dill Pickle Club put up a single poster for the tour. Who knew we were in such good company with our intersecting interests in the histories of Portland, art, and the WPA? So there’s a second Portland bike tour of projects completed under the Works Progress Administration this Sunday, July 5th from 12-5 PM. There are only a few spots left. Reserve by emailing yes@dillpickleclub.com, and they’ll send you logistics for the ride.
In addition to viewing work in the Portland Art Museum and significant (and oddball) sites throughout Portland, there are a couple of lectures built-in, lunch, and a great little booklet with a starter-kit bibliography for more info.
Miss the tour this Sunday, and you can still dig into the history of the WPA in PDX on the Dill Pickle Club website where shortly Marc will post a PDF and podcast so that you can do a DIY tour. And in the meantime, he’s uploaded a number of texts on federally supported art and the WPA in Portland.
