Implementing arts during the Depression was basically a way to allow Americans an outlet for all their hardships. People went to art galleries and went to see "pictures" (movies) and it allowed them to escape from the harsh, but improving, life of the Depression. As part of Roosevelt's New Deal, the Federal Theatre Project, the Federal Art Project, the Federal Music Project, and the Federal Writers' Project employed thousands of musicians, artists, actors, writers, and dancers under the WPA. This not only proved an escape for many Americans, but it also put the artistic community back to work.
