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.

SPECS: The New Deal Art Registry was designed by Barbara Bernstein and programmed by John Tibbetts. It uses Google Maps for navigation, Google for geocoding, and is written in the Python/Django web framework.
