The Historical Society of Woodstock will host a talk and book signing by author and art historian John P. Murphy of Vassar College on “A New Deal for Woodstock Artists,” about the role of Woodstock artists in New Deal art. He will also be signing copies of his book New Deal Art: Culture and Crisis in the Great Depression. Compared to similarly sized communities, Woodstock enrolled a disproportionate number of artists on the federal art programs, and many received high-profile commissions.
