A New WPA: Why a Sustainable Future Demands Cultural Recovery

So sorry about the late notice, but the Cultural Policy Center at the University just hosted three events with Arlene Goldbard this week who writes and consults on the intersection of culture, politics, and community.  She talked about an old way to think about this new recession; how to get out of it AND save the arts.  Talk in the arts community about starting a new WPA with Obama has been circulating for a few years now.

Read about what this entails: how artists got to work in the 1930s, again in the 1970s, and what initiatives are taking hold in the 21st century.
