Social Impact Studios teams up with the Rahway NJ Arts District to present POSTERS FOR THE PEOPLE: Art of the WPA this spring. This traveling exhibit, unveiled at the Constitution Center in 2009, explores the social landscape of America during the New Deal through posters created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Featuring 100s of posters, including originals and reproductions, Posters for the People communicates the values, vision, and vitality of American democracy through art.

Join the curators and authors of Posters for the People from Social Impact Studios at the closing celebration on June 7th. See the poster ­ originals and reproductions ­ and hear the stories of how this collection of rare American art is being rediscovered and brought back to the public through a new comprehensive online collection. Join us for a Community Silkscreen Workshop, where you can get hands-on instruction on the art of silkscreening and print your own WPA poster to take home. Activity appropriate for all ages!
