Organize! What the Artists’ Union & the American Artists’ Congress Can Teach Us Today
@ Gallery 400
400 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Monday, February 15th, from 6PM - 8PM
Nicolas Lampert (Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative) will provide an overview of the Artists’ Union and the American Artists’ Congress, two leading voices for radical artists during the 1930s. Both organizations responded to the Great Depression and the rise of fascism with collective action, purposefully aligning themselves with working class labor movements. The lecture will segue into an open discussion about how artists are addressing the present-day economic crisis.
