Pageants, handcraft, music and sports share the bill in this Illinois poster for an Exposition of Youth held under the National Youth Administration. The NYA was created in 1935 within the Works Progress Administration to give young people jobs and training. Printed in color by silkscreen under the Federal Art Project, the poster is attributed to an artist named Carken, and its mix of the arts and athletics, including boxing, shows how broadly the agency defined youth activity.
