    • W.P.A. was the abbreviation for the WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION, a government funded arts program which had an artists division. The WPA was originally known as the P.W.A.P. and it existed in the mid 1930's to the mid 1940's. The artists who participated in the WPA ranged from figurative and academic, all the way to abstraction and surrealism, in addition to almost every other school of painting, sculpture and the graphic arts including prints and posters. The WPA was an idea that George Biddle presented to his close friend and classmate, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
