Prints for the People: A National Exhibition of Prints Created by Artists Employed by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration This historic poster announces the "Prints for the People" exhibition held at the International Art Center, located at 310 Riverside Drive and 103rd Street in New York City during 1937. The event showcased an impressive collection of prints produced by artists who were part of the Federal Art Project (FAP), an essential component of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program designed to provide employment and financial assistance to artists, writers, and other creative professionals during the Great Depression. The FAP aimed to promote the arts and provide opportunities for artists to create and exhibit their work, ultimately enriching the cultural landscape of the United States. This exhibition represented a significant moment in the history of American art, as it provided a platform for artists to showcase their prints to a broad audience. The poster itself is a testament to the innovative printmaking techniques and artistic creativity that flourished during this period. The poster features various printmaking tools and equipment, emphasizing the hands-on, labor-intensive nature of the printmaking process. The bold typography and striking design reflect the modernist aesthetic of the time, while the use of the term "Prints for the People" underscores the democratic and inclusive spirit of the exhibition. This poster serves as a reminder of the transformative power of art and the government's role in supporting the creative endeavors of its citizens.
