“…no gigs, no concerts, no pubs...Book buying went up slightly, but then new books often went under the radar... The Irish state began a pilot scheme for artists & writers to sort of fund a base level of income in a way 2 compensate 4 those losses of the pandemic.” @laurenarrington.bsky.social

Arrington argues that the works of art that many women created under the Federal Arts Project made visible Black, immigrant, and women’s lives in a way that challenged segregationist, xenophobic, and sexist structures intrinsic in the nation’s institutions.

"I wanted to write a book that was focused on the lives of these women and how, in the midst of the depression, they found ways to live as artists and to keep themselves creatively alive, and the role that the state played in making that kind of creativity possible."

The only photograph I took last night, as we launched ‘Casimir Markievicz: A Polish Artist in Bohemian Dublin, 1903-1913’ in Dublin Castle! A wonderful night of art, music and friendship - I think Casimir would have approved!

A few tips for NEH grantees:
1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP.

2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,

It's possible we are headed off that cliff! We are not immune to the forces that cause societies to collapse. But IMO it's irresponsible to treat that collapse as inevitable, much less preferable, while there is still time left to turn the car around.

CFP: Critical Reappraisals of the New Deal as Cultural Enterprise
@laheffernan.bsky.social & I are planning a panel for @moderniststudies.bsky.social in Oct. We welcome proposals for panel papers & also from scholars interested in contributing to a potential collaborative publication
Please reskeet
CFP: Critical Reappraisals of the New Deal as Cultural Enterprise In 1935, the U.S. government established Federal One, an umbrella organization under the New Deal that was the most ambitious cultural enterprise in the history of the United States. Although it barely lasted five years, the projects under Federal One enabled creative innovations that had a transformative impact on artistic forms, styles, and methods for decades to come. At a moment when federal infrastructure is under threat, this panel invites critical reappraisals of the New Deal as a cultural enterprise. We welcome a range of approaches, including but not limited to: Considerations of individual artists who were supported by the Federal Writers Project, the Federal Art Project, or Federal Theatre Project. Reflections on newly unearthed or digitized archival materials related to Federal One. Theorizations of collaborative practices or soft/hard infrastructures generated by Federal One. Appraisals of state-level projects, including the segregated Negro Units. New accounts of the demise and afterlives of the projects funded by Federal One. Laura Heffernan, Lastinger Term Professor of Florida History and Culture, University of North Florida Lauren Arrington, Professor of English, University of South Florida Email proposals to laurenarrington@usf.edu by 28 Feb 2025 for consideration.
