Norwalk Mural Tour and Fairfield Art Museum We’ll first visit the Fairfield Art Museum, then lunch, followed by a self-guided walking tour of the Norwalk WPA murals. “In partnership with the Norwalk Arts Commission, the Norwalk Historical Society invites you to discover the 31 restored WPA murals at Norwalk City Hall with additional murals at other locations. From 1935 to 1941, WPA artists created more than 50 works of art for Norwalk’s public schools, libraries and post offices. While much of the WPA art nationally has been lost or destroyed, the murals and panels created for City Hall– the former Norwalk High School – as well as for other public buildings, comprise one of the largest and most important collections of restored Depression-era art in the country.” Check out these videos and links for a preview of the Murals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgUfJQ0UtFg https://vimeo.com/132228962 Getting There: This will be a Carpool Trip.
