The poster announces an exhibition of paintings, prints, and sculpture at The State Museum in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a state institution that was a natural venue for a show of this kind. Printed in 1936 as a silkscreen, it was sponsored by the Federal Art Project, part of the Works Progress Administration, which employed artists during the Depression and produced posters to publicize free cultural events. Silkscreen let the project's poster units print bold, inexpensive announcements in limited runs, and this example shows how that process was used to bring public art exhibitions to a wider audience.
