Getting a grasp of the various government art projects can be a challenge. In New Deal for Art: The Government Art Projects of the 1930s with examples from New York City and State, Marlene Park and Gerald Markowitz provide descriptions of eight government programs - two New York and six Federal - that sponsored public art from 1931-1943. The following is an adaptation of their excellent synopsis of these programs.
