Book Synopsis
Throughout the Great Recession American artists and public art endowments have had to fight for government support to keep themselves afloat. This book outlines the successes, shortcomings, and lessons of the golden age of government funding for the arts.

Trade Review
"A compelling synthesis of federally funded cultural projects undertaken in the United States from 1933 to 1945, Musher's book is written for other historians but will certainly appeal to scholars in many fields-including American studies, cultural studies, public history, visual culture studies, and more. Eloquently written and historically balanced, the book uses anecdotal evidence and biography to animate the story of New Deal arts programming and notions of cultural capital in new and engaging ways." (Erika Doss, University of Notre Dame)
