Parallel & Convergent
stories of labor & art

Art and labor movements travel parallel paths, often converging at key points in history when art reflects the lives of working people in startling ways.

The conditions of workers have been portrayed by artists since the beginning of the industrial revolution, and even earlier by songwriters and musicians. The arts have supported, documented, and benefited from labor movements and government programs, such as the Works Progress Administration of the New Deal in the 1930s.

If history is an indicator of the future, then we are currently experiencing the same fertile ground for artistic expression, collaboration, and expansion as witnessed during the 1930s.

How is your art reflecting the current climate and potential for reinvention?

Works that address issues of labor, making ends meet, issues of family, the work of the artist, and the arts as the means of cultural expansion, will be represented in this timely exhibit.
