Administration Announces Federal Free Instruction Progress Project Register
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster invites the residents of New York City to take advantage of a unique opportunity offered by the Federal Music Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Dated 1938, the announcement promotes free music instruction at the West Side Vocational High School located at 208 West 13th Street. The image on the poster features a metronome, a symbol of rhythm and musical precision, emphasizing the focus on developing musical skills. During the Great Depression, the WPA was established as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program to provide employment and aid to millions of unemployed Americans. The Federal Music Project was one of many initiatives under this umbrella, aiming to preserve and promote American music while providing valuable educational opportunities. The poster's bold typography and striking design effectively convey the sense of progress and community engagement that characterized the WPA projects. By registering for the music instruction, individuals could learn various musical instruments, music theory, and even music composition, all at no cost. This initiative not only provided a means of artistic expression and personal growth but also contributed to the cultural richness of New York City and the nation as a whole. This poster is a testament to the transformative power of arts education and the government's role in supporting its citizens during times of hardship. It serves as a reminder of the importance of accessibility to arts and culture, particularly during challenging economic periods.
