April 29   head for the Asheville Art Museum and the  Opening Reception, Artists at Work: American Printmakers and the WPA  The exhibit includes Prints created under the Federal Art Project, a unit of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The era represents a very specific moment when art for the people was a true rallying concept that resulted in wonderful woodcuts, wood engravings, linoleum cuts, etchings, lithographs and the then new “silkscreen” process.
