Everybody welcome" and "Free" are the two promises this poster puts front and center, pitching a neighborhood community center as a place open to all without charge. Printed in 1936 in silkscreen, it was one of the Federal Art Project's posters, produced under the Works Progress Administration (later renamed the Work Projects Administration) during the Depression.
