Few posters from this period tie art so directly to a building program. This one announces an exhibition in Cleveland, Ohio, tied to the Metropolitan Housing Project, with sketches, sculpture, ceramics, and murals on view. Produced as a silkscreen by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, it reflects the program's practice of using inexpensive, reproducible printing to publicize local events. The date stamped on the back, March 27, 1939, places it in a year when the Federal Art Project's poster units were especially active.
