Federal Art in New England: A Celebration of WPA Artistry This evocative poster invites you to explore the rich artistic legacy of the Federal Art Project (FAP) in New England, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Depression Era. Between 1936 and 1939, the FAP provided employment opportunities for artists, enabling them to create works that reflected the social and cultural fabric of their communities. The poster, featuring a map of New England, showcases the diverse range of art produced during this period. From the vibrant landscapes of Vermont and Maine to the bustling cityscapes of Massachusetts and Connecticut, these works offer a unique window into the region's history and identity. The progress and administration of the FAP are encapsulated in this poster, which serves as a testament to the transformative power of art in times of hardship. The Federal Art Gallery, located at 77 Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts, provided a platform for these works to be exhibited and appreciated by the public. The Federal Art Project's impact extended far beyond the walls of the gallery, as its artists went on to create murals, easel paintings, prints, and sculptures that graced public buildings, schools, and community centers throughout New England. This poster is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the WPA and the Federal Art Project, which continues to inspire and enrich our cultural landscape today. Join us in exploring the Federal Art in New England exhibition and experience the beauty and depth of these works firsthand.
