The '''Federal Art Project''' (1935–1943) was a [[New Deal]] program to fund the [[visual arts]] in the United States. Under national director [[Holger Cahill]], it was one of five [[Federal Project Number One]] projects sponsored by the [[Works Progress Administration]] (WPA), and the largest of the New Deal art projects. It was created not as a cultural activity, but as a relief measure to employ artists and artisans to create murals, easel paintings, sculpture, graphic art, posters, photography, [[Federal Theatre Project|theatre scenic design]], and arts and crafts. The WPA Federal Art Project established more than 100 community art centers throughout the country, researched and documented American design, commissioned a significant body of [[public art]] without restriction to content or subject matter, and sustained some 10,000 artists and craft workers during the [[Great Depression in the United States|Great Depression]]. According to ''American Heritage'', “Something like 400,000 easel paintings, murals, prints, posters, and renderings were produced by WPA artists during the eight years of the project’s existence, virtually free of government pressure to control subject matter, interpretation, or style.”<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Laning |first=Edward |date=1970-10-01 |title=When Uncle Sam Played Patron of the Arts: Memoirs of a WPA Painter |url=https://www.americanheritage.com/when-uncle-sam-played-patron-arts-memoirs-wpa-painter |access-date=2022-10-01 |journal=American Heritage|volume=21|number=6|language=en-us}}</ref>

The Federal Art Project was the visual arts arm of Federal Project Number One, a program of the Works Progress Administration, which was intended to provide employment for struggling artists during the Great Depression. Funded under the [[Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935]], it operated from August 29, 1935, until June 30, 1943. It was created as a relief measure to employ artists and artisans to create murals, easel paintings, sculpture, graphic art, posters, photographs, Index of American Design documentation, museum and theatre scenic design, and arts and crafts. The Federal Art Project operated community art centers throughout the country where craft workers and artists worked, exhibited, and educated others.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/images/detail/employment-and-activities-poster-wpas-federal-art-project-11772 |title=Employment and Activities poster for the WPA's Federal Art Project, 1936|website=Archives of American Art |publisher=[[Smithsonian Institution]] |access-date=2015-06-16 }}</ref> The project created more than 200,000 separate works, some of them remaining among the most significant pieces of public art in the country.<ref name="Kalfatovic">{{cite book |last=Kalfatovic |first=Martin R. |date=1994 |title=The New Deal Fine Arts Projects: A Bibliography, 1933–1992 |url=https://archive.org/details/newdealfineartsp00kalf |location=Metuchen, N.J. |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=0-8108-2749-2 |access-date=2015-06-17 }}</ref>

The Federal Art Project's primary goals were to employ out-of-work artists and to provide art for nonfederal municipal buildings and public spaces. Artists were paid $23.60 a week; tax-supported institutions such as schools, hospitals, and public buildings paid only for materials.<ref name="NYT American Murals">{{cite news |last=Brenner |first=Anita |date=April 10, 1938 |title=America Creates American Murals |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1938/04/10/archives/american-creates-american-murals-to-bid-for-the-favor-of-a-new-mass.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=2015-06-16 }}</ref> The work was divided into art production, art instruction, and art research. The primary output of the art-research group was the Index of American Design, a mammoth and comprehensive study of American material culture.

As many as 10,000 artists were commissioned to produce work for the WPA Federal Art Project,<ref name="Brian Naylor"/> the largest of the New Deal art projects. Three comparable but distinctly separate New Deal art projects were administered by the [[United States Department of the Treasury]]: the [[Public Works of Art Project]] (1933–1934), the [[Section of Painting and Sculpture]] (1934–1943), and the [[Treasury Relief Art Project]] (1935–1938).<ref name="GSA Inventory Project">{{cite web |url=http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101384 |title=New Deal Artwork: GSA's Inventory Project |publisher=[[General Services Administration]] |access-date=2015-06-16 |archive-date=2017-07-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170720013035/https://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101384 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The WPA program made no distinction between [[Representation (arts)|representational]] and [[Abstraction#Abstraction in art|nonrepresentational]] art. [[Abstract art|Abstraction]] had not yet gained favor in the 1930s and 1940s, so was virtually unsalable. As a result, the Federal Art Project supported such iconic artists as [[Jackson Pollock]] before their work could earn them income.<ref>Atkins, Robert (1993).

One particular success was the Milwaukee Handicraft Project, which started in 1935 as an experiment that employed 900 people who were classified as unemployable due to their age or disability.<ref name="When Art Worked"/>{{Rp|164}} The project came to employ about 5,000 unskilled workers, many of them women and the long-term unemployed. Historian [[John Gurda]] observed that the city's unemployment hovered at 40% in 1933. "In that year," he said, "53 percent of Milwaukee's property taxes went unpaid because people just could not afford to make the tax payments."<ref name="Handicraft WPR">{{cite web |url=http://www.wpr.org/depression-era-milwaukee-handicraft-project-put-thousands-people-work |title=Depression-Era Milwaukee Handicraft Project Put Thousands of People to Work|last=Whaley |first=K.

{{quotation|As we study the drawings of the Index of American Design we realize that the hands that made the first two hundred years of this country's material culture expressed something more than untutored creative instinct and the rude vigor of a frontier civilization. … The Index, in bringing together thousands of particulars from various sections of the country, tells the story of American hand skills and traces intelligible patterns within that story.|[[Holger Cahill]], national director of the Federal Art Project<ref name="Christensen"/>{{Rp|xv}}}}

The Index of American Design program of the Federal Art Project produced a pictorial survey of the crafts and decorative arts of the United States from the [[Colonial history of the United States|early colonial period]] to 1900. Artists working for the Index produced nearly 18,000 meticulously faithful watercolor drawings,<ref name="When Art Worked"/>{{Rp|226}} documenting material culture by largely anonymous artisans.<ref name="Christensen">{{cite book |last=Cahill |first=Holger |author-link=Holger Cahill |year=1950 |chapter=Introduction |editor1-last=Christensen |editor1-first=Erwin O. |title=The Index of American Design |url=https://archive.org/details/indexofamericand0000chri |url-access=registration |location=New York |publisher=[[Macmillan Publishers|The Macmillan Company]] |pages=ix–xvii |oclc=217678 }}</ref>{{Rp|ix}} Objects surveyed ranged from furniture, silver, glass, stoneware and textiles to tavern signs, ships's figureheads, cigar-store figures, carousel horses, toys, tools and weather vanes.<ref name="When Art Worked"/>{{Rp|224}}<ref name="Herzberg">{{cite news |last=Herzberg |first=Max |date=October 15, 1950 |title=American Craftsmanship Offers Beauty and Utility  |newspaper=[[Newark Evening News]]  }}</ref> Photography was used only to a limited degree since artists could more accurately and effectively present the form, character, color and texture of the objects. The best drawings approach the work of such 19th-century [[trompe-l'œil]] painters as [[William Harnett]]; lesser works represent the process of artists who were given employment and expert training.<ref name="Christensen"/>{{Rp|xiv}}

"It was not a nostalgic or antiquarian enterprise," wrote historian [[Roger G. Kennedy]]. "It was initiated by modernists dedicated to abstract design, hoping to influence industrial design — thus in many ways it parallelled the founding philosophy of the Museum of Modern Art in New York."<ref name="When Art Worked"/>{{Rp|224}}

Like all WPA programs, the Index had the primary purpose of providing employment.<ref name="NYT Jones">{{cite news |last=Jones |first=Louis C. |date=October 22, 1950 |title=Only Yesterday It Was Wooden Indians and Whittled Toys |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1950/10/22/archives/only-yesterday-it-was-wooden-indians-and-whittled-toys.html |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=2015-10-29 }}</ref> Its function was to identify and record material of historical significance that had not been studied and was in danger of being lost. Its aim was to gather together these pictorial records into a body of material that would form the basis for organic development of American design — a usable American past accessible to artists, designers, manufacturers, museums, libraries and schools. The United States had no single comprehensive collection of authenticated historical native design comparable to those available to scholars, artists and industrial designers in Europe.<ref name="NYT Jewell">{{cite news |last=Jewell |first=Edward Alden |date=March 19, 1939 |title=Saving Our Usable Past |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1939/03/19/archives/saving-our-usable-past-the-index-of-american-design-reviews-its.html |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=2015-10-29 }}</ref>

"In one sense the Index is a kind of archaeology," wrote Holger Cahill. "It helps to correct a bias which has tended to relegate the work of the craftsman and the folk artist to the subconscious of our history where it can be recovered only by digging. In the past we have lost whole sequences out of their story, and have all but forgotten the unique contribution of hand skills in our culture."<ref name="Christensen"/>{{Rp|xv}}

The Index of American Design operated in 34 states and the District of Columbia from 1935 to 1942. It was founded by [[Romana Javitz]], head of the Picture Collection of the [[New York Public Library]], and textile designer [[Ruth Reeves]].<ref name="When Art Worked"/>{{Rp|224}} Reeves was appointed the first national coordinator; she was succeeded by C. Adolph Glassgold (1936) and Benjamin Knotts (1940). [[Constance Rourke]] was national editor.<ref name="Christensen"/>{{Rp|xii}} The work is in the collection of the [[National Gallery of Art]] in Washington, D.C.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nga.gov/collection/iad/history/overview.shtm |title=History |website=Index of American Design |publisher=[[National Gallery of Art]] |access-date=2015-10-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151223101058/http://www.nga.gov/collection/iad/history/overview.shtm |archive-date=2015-12-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Index employed an average of 300 artists during its six years in operation.<ref name="Christensen"/>{{Rp|xiv}} One artist was Magnus S. Fossum, a longtime farmer who was compelled by the Depression to move from the Midwest to Florida. After he lost his left hand in an accident in 1934, he produced watercolor renderings for the Index, using magnifiers and drafting instruments for accuracy and precision. Fossum eventually received an insurance settlement that made it possible for him to buy another farm and leave the Federal Art Project.<ref name="When Art Worked"/>{{Rp|228}}

In her essay,'Picturing a Usable Past,' Virginia Tuttle Clayton, curator of the 2002-2003 exhibition, ''Drawing on America's Past: Folk Art, Modernism, and the Index of American Design'', held at the National Gallery of Art noted that "the Index of American Design was the result of an ambitious and creative effort to furnish for the visual arts a usable past."<ref>''Drawing on America's Past: Folk Art, Modernism, and the Index of American Design'' by Virginia Tuttle Clayton, Elizabeth Stillinger, [[Erika Doss]], and Deborah Chotner.
