Children's Museum of the Arts, Inc.

The Children’s Museum of the Arts will develop an exhibit entitled, The Kuniyoshi Collection: The WPA Children’s Art Project Through a Modern Lens, an exhibit that will create an intergenerational dialogue between New Yorkers of the late 1930s and children and families of today. The exhibit will feature 19 paintings from the Museum’s permanent collection created by children in the post-Depression era under the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project. The Museum will juxtapose these paintings with 19 new ones created by children today in an art educational residency based on the WPA model. When showcased side by side, these works will exemplify changes and continuities of New York City history over the past 70 years.
