Description
Art for the People: WPA-Era Paintings From the Djikstra Collection
Opens January 29!
Show runs: Jan 29 – May 7, 2023
In the years between the American stock market crash of 1929 and World War II, artists focused on American scenes and people—and often the plight of the dispossessed. In large part because of the Great Depression, artists from all regions of the United States sought to produce art that expressed fundamental human concerns and a collective interest in humanity. This exhibition focuses on representational painting created during this era, which led to and included the government-sponsored WPA (Works Progress Administration), and it offers a broad look at what constituted American art at this pivotal time.
Art for the People opens on January 29 and will be on view through May 7.

💙🤍❤️ La Bien Aimée is here! 💙🤍❤️
We`re thrilled to reveal that La Bien Aimée yarn will be available at Rumpel from this weekend on, launching during the Community Stitch event on Friday evening, 6:30-8pm (sign up at the link below!)
If you can`t make it then, stop by over the weekend to come and see these gorgeous colorways in person!

We`re stocking Kumo, a cloudy-soft, lace-weight blend of suri alpaca and mulberry silk blend, and Merino Super Sock, a classic superwash sock yarn that is soft, smooth and glowing with the bold hues of Aimée`s signature colors.
Each colorway is available in both bases, so you can pair them up for a perfectly matching halo!
💙🤍❤️ À bientôt! 💙🤍❤️
