The correct answer to this open question is the following.

During the 1930s, many of the Works Progress Administration encouraged literature, music, and art. One of the key figures involved with the WPA was photographer Dorothea Lang. Her work had a great impact on the Work Progress Administration because she could capture in her pictures the pain and suffering of American citizens that had to left the Great Plains during the Dust Bowl and had to immigrate to the state of California. The WPA sponsored art projects such as the Federal Art Project and the Public Works of Art Project.
