2026 Posters for the People: Art of the WPA by Ennis Carter


September 19 - October 25, 2026

2026 will mark the 90th Anniversary of the WPA Poster Division of the Federal Art Project - one of the most remarkable efforts in our country's history that gave artists jobs that worked for the public good. These posters weren't just eye-catching, they were public service tools that promoted everything from public health and safety to education, national parks, the arts-and even hope-during some of the hardest times in the U.S.

This exhibition in the Sally D. Francisco Gallery at Peters Valley will feature original posters made by Federal Project artists between 1936-1943 along with archival reproductions of posters that are no longer thought to exist in print. Opening reception September 19 from 3:00-6:00pm

Peters Valley is Expanding!


Our New Satellite Campus in Pike County, PA

Peters Valley is embarking on an exciting new chapter: the development of a dedicated satellite campus across the river in Dingmans Ferry, PA. In addition to our current campus in Layton, NJ, this new campus will serve more students, host year-round programs and deepen our impact on local communities and the national craft ecosystem.

Peters Valley is NOT leaving the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Campus! We will continue to offer immersive workshops and residencies at that location.

OUR CAMPUS IN THE DELAWARE WATER GAP

Our facilities, nestled amid the fields, forests and streams of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, were once the charming and leafy farm village of Bevans.
