Curator talk: Pursuit of Happiness: American Artists, World War II and the GI Bill

Guest Curator MaLin Wilson-Powell will give a talk on the impact the GI Bill had on artists across the nation.

Like the exhibition Pursuit of Happiness: GI Bill in Taos, Wilson-Powell’s talk will precede her upcoming publication Pursuit of Happiness: World War II, American Artists and the GI Bill which features profiles of thirty international, national, and regional GI Bill artists who changed the world of art.

This talk is free for Harwood Museum Members and included with Museum Admission.
