Grant Wood and the American Farm
Opens September 9

We're excited to welcome you this September to an exclusive and dynamic look at the American farm. Tickets go on sale September 1!

Grant Wood and the American Farm will trace the evolution of the farm over a period of a hundred years, from 1850 to 1950. It will give particular attention to the Regionalist artist Grant Wood and other artists from 17 of the nation's top institutions including Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Thomas Hart Benton, Arthur Dove, Charles Sheeler, and Andrew Wyeth.
Course: The American Farm

Tuesdays, 4 - 5:30 p.m.
Six sessions beginning September 27; October 4, 11, 18, 25; November 1

This course will explore Grant Wood's work and its relation to other Regionalist painters and their predecessors. Through talks and tours, the course will also delve into the history of the Reynolda farm and its brief role in demonstrating scientific, diversified agriculture in a region dependent on tobacco as the dominant cash crop.
