We are pleased to announce "Much Here Is Beautiful," a new photography book co-published with the Smithsonian American Art Museum 🌟⁠
⁠
"Much Here is Beautiful" brings together, for the first time, photography surveys commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in the years surrounding the 1976 US Bicentennial. Inspired by the legacy of the Farm Security Administration’s photographs during the Great Depression, the NEA envisioned these surveys as an expansive and evocative portrait of the nation during a pivotal chapter in its history.⁠
⁠
Now available for pre-order at radiusbooks.org/all-books/p/muchhereisbeautiful

JOIN US tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23, for a virtual discussion about The Holland Project’s "Cross Reference: Artists Respond to the Radius Books Collection" ⚡️⁠ ⁠
⁠
For the past four years, Radius Books has shared dozens of titles with young and emerging artists at The Holland Project through our Donation Program, which provides free copies of every book we publish to more than 350 partner organizations across the United States.⁠
⁠
This summer, artists from across Nevada responded directly to those donated books, creating original artworks inspired by Radius publications. The resulting exhibition, "Cross Reference," is a powerful example of how access to books can spark creativity, connection, and new artistic dialogue.⁠
⁠
Your support makes programs like this possible. Donations to Radius help ensure that our books continue reaching readers, artists, students, libraries, and community organizations nationwide.⁠
⁠
Tomorrow's virtual panel, moderated by Kiera O’Brien, Director of Engagement + Public Programs at Radius Books, will explore how the invited artists approached the project, what surprising connections they made between the Radius artists and their own work, and the various threads that tie the exhibition together.⁠
