Lagniappe Lecture - "Art and Propaganda: Louisiana Artists Supporting the War Effort" by Megan Franich
H. Mortimer Favrot Orientation Center

During the Great Depression, FDR implemented the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project. The FAP of Louisiana hired artists — men and women — to help record and preserve history. As the WPA came to an end, the FAP helped America prepare for WWII by designing propaganda posters for the Red Cross, the Army and the Navy in 1942. Megan Franich will discuss how Louisiana artists made this transition. For more information call 504-528-1944 x 229.
