Comprehensive Employment Training Act Artists Project records circa 1977 to 1980


Description

The Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) was a United States federal law dating from 1973 until it was replaced by the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982. The purpose of CETA was to train low income and or or long term unemployed workers in public service jobs. The CETA Artists Project in New York City was an employment program for New York City-based artists. From 1977 to 1980, approximately 500 artists were placed with community sponsors where they taught classes and workshops, created public art, and gave performances. There are photographs from the CETA Artists Project in ACC1981-011.
