Event Description:

A Federal Art Project: Posters for Indian Court
End: Jun 16
Located in the Chandler Gallery, Works on Paper

Curated by Jenny Hornby, Assistant Curator of Education 

In 1938, Louis Siegriest was hired by the Works Progress Administration to design posters for the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco, California.  The set of eight he produced highlighted the Indian Court exhibition, which aimed to celebrate the artistic talents of various Native American tribes while educating the public on their traditional cultures and settlements.  The posters were distributed across the United States to various public institutions including libraries, universities, and museums. This exhibition explores the history of the posters and how they came to the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.
