Garden Club – WPA

This life-size painting Garden Club – WPA was created by award-winning Norfolk artist Maizelle and has been showcased at the Chrysler Museum of Art. It pays tribute to the 220 African American women and men, who, as part of a depression-era Works Progress Administration project, transformed swampland into the beautiful Garden we know today. The Garden has received enough donations to acquire the painting for the Garden’s permanent art collection for future generations to enjoy. Thank you to all who contributed!
