Relief
We collectioed 907 colored and graphically diverse original posters that were produced during the Great Depression and put that out immediatly. The posters were designed to publicize exhibits, community activities, theatrical productions, and health and educational programs in seventeen states and the District of Columbia.
Recovery
Many Projects were created for artist so they would have to turn in a weekly project to earn wages so they could buy farmland, food and clothing. These projects would be placed in art centers all around to be shown off to thousands of people.Artist will receive a basic wage of $23.50 per week and are expected to turn in one work within a specified number of weeks or not a certain number of days on a mural or architectural sculpture project.
Reform
The National Gallery has custody of materials from the Federal Art Project's a compilation of nearly 18,000 watercolor renderings that depict traditional American arts and crafts made before about 1890. The renderings were created under the auspices of the Index of American Design project, one of several Fine Arts Divisions in the Federal Art Project. This helps because we will always have artwork for people to look out around the world and potentially buy.
