Above: The WPA offered many art opportunities to youth during the 1930s and 40s, for example, art classes and exhibitions of their work. In this photo, we see two boys painting a mural in a town hall in Montague, Massachusetts, as part of a WPA recreation program, ca. 1935-1943. Photo courtesy of the National Archives.
