The [[Works Progress Administration]] subsidized artists, musicians, painters and writers on relief with a group of projects called Federal One.  While the WPA program was by the most widespread, it was preceded by three programs administered by the [[United States Department of the Treasury|US Treasury]] which hired commercial artists at usual commissions to add murals and sculptures to federal buildings. The first of these efforts was the Public Works of Art Project, organized by Edward Bruce, an American businessman and artist.  The Resettlement Administration (RA) and [[Farm Security Administration]] (FSA) had major photography programs.  The New Deal arts programs emphasized regionalism, socialist realism, class conflict, proletarian interpretations, and audience participation.
