New Deal Post Office Murals


Between 1934 and 1943 the Treasury Section of Fine Art (TS) was established to commission artwork in newly-constructed Federal Post Offices and Courthouses. Unlike other New Deal programs, (such as the WPA) the Treasury Section was not a relief program. Instead, mural contracts were awarded based on national and regional art competitions. Only the best artists were selected for mural projects in post offices across the country.
