WPA Federal Art Project

Sunrise Movement
Proceeds support Sunrise Movement, a growing army of young people dedicate to making climate change an urgent priority across America, ending the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and electing leaders who stand up for the health and well-being of all people. The below are selections from The Work Projects Administration (WPA), a part of the New Deal projects of the 1930′s. The poster collection consists of posters produced from 1936 to 1943 by various branches of the WPA, all under the banner of a Federal Art Project. This project, the work it created and the lives it touched, were a huge inspiration for Creative Action Network and thousands of other artists both for how they shaped the American aesthetic and the idea of government-sponsored art.
