NEW YORK, NY
.- On Thursday, February 4 Swann Galleries will offer the auction: The Artists of the WPA. The multi-departmental sale will feature paintings, prints, photographs, posters, books and related ephemera by artists whose careers were sustained by the Works Progress Administration. In the aftermath of the Great Depression, president Franklin D. Roosevelts New Deal and its related agencies represented an unprecedented investment in art and artists, setting the scene for the twentieth centurys art movements, and establishing the careers of diverse creatives, including women, Black artists, photographers, and muralists.
Pine-Strawberry Health Services, Inc. oversees the building and general operation of the Pine-Strawberry Medical Clinic. This clinic came about by way of a dream. In 1979, the community was classified as a medically distressed area. With a growing population, the Pine-Strawberry Chamber of Commerce starting in 1980 spent considerable time and money to locate a doctor for the community.
The days, then the months passed, and yes, years passed. In early 1983, a group of residents got together and did something once and for all. They created a steering committee of dedicated community minded people. Their ranks included retirees, volunteer firefighters, real estate agents, search and rescue volunteers, and anyone willing to spend hours exploring the dream of a medical clinic. Many hours were put into this committee.
