Arizona WPA Art Project

The Arizona WPA Art Project was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program established in the 1930s to help during the Great Depression. This project aimed to provide jobs to artists by funding the creation of public artworks. In Arizona, it resulted in murals, sculptures, and other artistic works that enriched public spaces, reflecting the state’s culture and history. The project not only beautified communities but also supported artists, making art accessible to the public and contributing to a thriving cultural legacy in Arizona.
