The Weisman holds a vast and diverse collection of art created as part of the New Deal programs of the 1930s and 1940s, launched to provide relief and recovery to Americans struggling during the Great Depression. The New Deal programs employed millions of people, including thousands of artists. "By the People, for the People" showcases selections from the Weisman's vast holdings in this area, including several pieces by artists working on the University of Minnesota campus in the 1930s. The show also highlights works by women artists employed by the New Deal programs.
