Amarillo Museum of Art to display FSA photos

Timed to coincide with the premier of Ken Burns/Florentine Films production, The Dust Bowl, the Amarillo Museum of Art will be hosting a display of FSA (Farm Service Administration) photographs taken during the Great Depression and including The Dust Bowl.


The FSA built a remarkable collection of more than 80,000 photographs of America during the Depression because they hired great photographers and a great administrator to lead them. 


Roy Stryker was an economist from Columbia University before he was hired to head the "Historical Section" of the FSA. His job, according to his boss Rexford Tugwell, was to "show the city people what it's like to live on the farm."

The exhibition will run from October 4th through October 28th,
