Public Works of Art Project (N.M.)
Biographical notes:
The Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), the first of the New Deal art programs, was established under the Department of the Treasury in December 1933 to assist unemployed artists by enabling them to work on the decoration of non-federal public buildings. Although it lasted only until the following summer, it engaged nearly 4,000 artists in all parts of the country and served as an important precedent for subsequent federal art programs, such as the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration.
From the description of PWAP reports by Gustave Baumann, 1934. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 122571346
