| The New Deal
Art Registry enlists art sleuths around the country to collaborate
in compiling a reliable, web-based, visual guide to surviving
public art that was created in the 1930s and 40s under any of the
New Deal programs.
 BROWSING
THE REGISTRY: Use the maps and lists (of states, cities, artwork
sites) next to the maps to explore artwork that has been registered
in the region you are interested in. You can zoom in and out of
the maps and "grab" them to change the geographic area
displayed. You can also search using the lists accessible via
the Locations, Artists, or Subjects tabs.
CONTRIBUTING TO
THE REGISTRY: Please join us: register any New Deal mural, sculpture, or other large-scale work that
you come across in your town or on your travels. You are also invited
to correct or add to any information that you see in the Registry,
including submitting a better photo. Click here to do so.
