Art, Government, Hope: Jewish Artists Contribute to WPA’s Federal Art Project

Join JCRC as the Dayton Art Institute highlights select works of artists in the DAI’s collection who participated in the Federal Art Program (FAP). The FAP was the arm of the New Deal’s Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) that supported artists during the Great Depression.
