City Rising: America in the Early Twentieth Century

WHEN: Through December 7
WHERE:
Works on Paper Study Room

As the United States shifted from an agrarian to an industrial power at the turn of the twentieth century, the demands of a factory-driven economy resulted in the growth of urban centers. City Rising: America in the Early Twentieth Century presents work by artists who responded to these changes in different ways.

On view in the new Works on Paper Study Room, which is available to the public Thursday evenings, 5-10 PM, Saturdays, 10 AM-5 PM, and Sundays, 1-5 PM.
