George continues his research into federally funded art of the thirties. He recently published an article in the book, “Art for the People” written and edited by Heather Becker. He curated a show of federally produced art for the SIUC Museum. He has been invited to give lectures and talks including the Art Institute of Chicago for the National New Deal Preservation Association Conference entitled “the New Deal: Past, Present and Future,” a lecture at Western Illinois University Art Gallery in conjunction with a federal art exhibition and, most recently, at SIUC. The title of his presentation was “The Individuals Who Helped Create Federal Funding for the Arts during the 1930’s.”
