Course titles set into the border do much of the work in this silkscreen poster, which invites New Yorkers to sign up for free music lessons. Piano, voice, violin, theory, wind instruments, ear training, music history, opera coaching, and languages are all listed around the edge, a sign of how wide the city's offerings were. The Federal Music Project was part of the Works Progress Administration, the New Deal agency that employed artists, musicians, and writers during the Depression. Posters like this one were made by the Federal Art Project's silkscreen workshops, which produced inexpensive color designs in quantity for public display.
