During the height of the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) provided economic relief to millions of idle artists by employing them in the creation of public works projects. Although highly controversial in its time for its leftist political leanings, the WPA is cited as a major factor for the re-stabilization of the American economy leading up to WWII. Join Know Your City, as we take a leisurely bicycle field trip/ tour of WPA-sponsored projects in Portland and hear from leading authorities on the subject. $10/ members $20/ general.
