| The New Deal
Art Registry enlists art sleuths around the country to collaborate
in compiling a reliable, easy-to-use, web-based guide to surviving
public art that was created in the 1930s and 40s under any of the
New Deal programs. Please join us: register any New Deal art 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.
 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.
 REGISTERING
ARTWORK: Please register only art that you have seen with your own
eyes or are very confident about. For instructions on using our
simple on-line registration form, see the page "How
to Find and Register Artwork."

changing the details about art already registered. Instructions

to Find and Register..." page.
