Federal Arts Project

The Federal Arts Project (FAP) was a New Deal program launched in 1935 to fund artistic work across the United States during the Great Depression. It aimed to support artists, writers, and performers by providing jobs creating public art, murals, murals, theater, and cultural projects. The initiative helped make art accessible to the public and promoted American culture, while also helping artists earn income during tough economic times. The FAP played a significant role in enriching American cultural heritage and supporting the arts industry during a challenging period.
