In 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as part of his New Deal program to put millions of unemployed Americans back to work. The WPA funded hundreds of murals and thousands of original posters through the Federal Art Project. This division employed more than five thousand artists in various art projects throughout the country; by 1938, there were poster divisions in at least eighteen states, including Pennsylvania. This exhibition surveys some of the finest poster work done in Pennsylvania
