EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the Exhibition of Paintings, Prints, and Sculpture at The State Museum in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, during the period of 1936 and 1941. The Progressive Administration of Pennsylvania, under the Works Progress Administration (WPA), proudly presented this Federal Art Project to showcase the artistic talents of local artists. The striking design of the poster features a stylized eagle, a symbol of the United States, holding a palette in its talons. This powerful image represents the fusion of art and the state, emphasizing the importance of creativity and cultural progress during this era. The poster's bold colors and dynamic composition effectively capture the attention of viewers, inviting them to explore the rich artistic offerings of the exhibition. The WPA Federal Art Project was a significant component of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, which aimed to provide employment opportunities for artists, writers, and performers during the Great Depression. By showcasing these works in public spaces, the project not only provided financial support for artists but also brought art to communities that might not have had access to it otherwise. The Exhibition of Paintings, Prints, and Sculpture at The State Museum in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, provided a platform for local artists to display their works and engage with the public. This event marked an essential moment in the history of the arts in Pennsylvania, fostering a sense of community and promoting the importance of artistic expression during a time of economic hardship.
