The Federal Art Project (1935–1943) of the Works Progress Administration was the largest of the New Deal art projects.[1] As many as 10,000 artists[2] were employed to create murals, easel paintings, sculpture, graphic art, posters, photography, Index of American Design documentation, theatre scenic design, and arts and crafts.[3] Artists were paid $23.60 a week; tax-supported patrons and institutions paid only for materials.[4] The Federal Art Project also operated community art centers throughout the country where artists worked and educated others.[3]
