Production of an interactive, virtual museum exploring the New Deal art and artists of Gallup, New Mexico.

The Gallup New Deal Art (GNDA) Virtual Museum project endeavors to create a multi-faceted, interactive, and analytical website that restores Gallup’s legacy as a Federal Art Center by unifying an expansive and impressive collection of 156 New Deal artworks (currently housed in six separate locations) and by putting public art to public purpose. The Virtual Museum’s primary objectives are to make Gallup’s New Deal art collection widely available as a rich and engaging artistic, historical, and cultural resource and to leverage its potential for critical conversations and community building. Through original scholarship and creative interpretations, the GNDA Virtual Museum excavates the past, elevates and explores a diversity of perspectives, and encourages the exchange of ideas.
