Art for the Millions is an audio CD and 28-page guided tour of Portland public works projects of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a federally funded program that provided relief to millions of idle workers during the height of the Great Depression.
The audio program includes interviews with David Millholand, Ginny Allen, Nina Olsson, Mark Humpal and Margaret Bullock, while the guidebook details more than nine WPA sites in the Portland metro area.
Also included is the essay “A Look Back and a Step Forward: The Relevance of the WPA Today,” and a list of WPA resources.
