The name of the program is the Works Progress Administration (WPA). This organization was developed as a result of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. This series of legislation was aimed at helping the American economy recover from the Great Depression.

The Works Progress Administration was one of many employment programs. This agency specifically focused on helping artists, musicians, and other people in the fields of the performing/visual arts.
