The Works Progress Administration (renamed in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration) or WPA was the largest and most ambitious American New Deal agency, employing millions of unemployed people (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads. But the WPA didn’t just employ workers to build bridges and roads. It also put artists to work designing and painting murals and posters.
