Federal Art Project

The Federal Art Project was a New Deal program in the United States, established during the Great Depression in the 1930s. It aimed to support artists and provide them with employment while making art accessible to the public. The project funded various initiatives, including murals, sculptures, and community art programs, with the goal of enhancing American culture and providing jobs for struggling artists. It played a significant role in the development of public art and helped to foster a sense of community and national identity during a challenging economic period.
