Music & Art

The Federal Art Project officials pursued projects that attempted to make art available to everyone, recognizing that there were limitations in society that barred people from equal exposure to art.[1] In addition to publicizing more urgent topics, such as work safety or education, the WPA posters also attempted to increase the exposure people have to music and the arts, by advertising music festivals and recreation centers where art classes were offered. "The New Deal sought to change the relationship between the artist and society by democratizing art and culture."[2]
