The Federal Art Project was a part of the New Deal which employed nearly 400 artists who collectively created over 100,000 works of art-- including paintings, prints, murals, photographs mosaics, sculptures, and more. The Federal Art Project also made art more accessible throughout the US by funding live theater and music and art classes throughout the country.
