The Founding of the WPA By Katherine Holloran

WPA – The Works Progress Administration It was a work relief program One of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal Programs to fix the economy Employed more than 8.5 million people People were hired to build public buildings, bridges, roads, public parks, and airports Created in 1933 Average salary was $41.57 a month

Lowell O In 1926 Lowell entered into a severe economic downturn, several years before the rest of the country. This is due to the use of steam powered factories being used because it cost less. O Caused many mills to be closed, sold, and/or demolished. O Picture of the Demolition of the Saco-Lowell Shops in the 1930s. Today it is the parking lot for the National Park Visitor’s Center.

The WPA and Art A Division of the WPA: The Federal Art Project, focused on creating federal art, music, theater, and writers’ projects to employ artists, writers, actors, and musicians Supported tens of thousands of artists Funded 100,00 paintings and murals; 17,744 pieces of sculpture After a few months 1100 artist were working for WPA

Artists of the WPA The WPA favored Figurative art and disliked Abstract art.

The Federal Art Project O Designed to supplement artists’ income and more importantly, fund patriotic art projects to inspire dispirited Americans O For an artist to be considered for the program, they must first apply for Home Relief to confirm they are impoverished, then submit samples of their work O Once approved the artist would receive $24 per week O Disbanded on June 30, 1943 O Many WPA funded paintings are lost or have been destroyed (a plumber bought many of the paintings in bulk to use to insulate pipes) after thousands were auctioned off in 1943.
