FEDERAL ART IN
 STATE INCREASES
One Hundred and Five Em- plOyed to Date-46 Fair.
 field County Residents

With 1O5 artists, majority of them formerly on relief rolls, ale ready at work under the Federal art program in Connecticut and 4,300 SO employed throughout the United States, 1t is expected that the 5000 mark will be reached nationally by the end of the month, State Art Project Director Wayland w. VII. Jams announced today. MT. Wil- Hams, in reporting progress of his project to State Works Progress Ad- ministrator M. A. Daly, pointed out that 46 of ConnecticutS 105 artists engaged on the Federal program are residents of Fairfield County, 34 coming from the New Haven district and 25 from the Hartford district. This represents an increase of 45 artists since the project was taken over from the ERA on November 20, last, Mir. Williams reported.
 The artists on the Connecticut WPA art project are engaged as follows: mural painting, 49: easel painting, 20; sculpture, IA; applied arts, IL; teaching, seven, and pho- tography, four. Eleven of those employed were placed by the Na- tional Youth Association and B of them are women, the report stated. The reason for the third or Bridgeport district having the larg- est number of artists employed, Mir. Williams pointed out, is because of the concentration of artists in col- onies within committing distance of New York. The state director ex- plained that when artists are grouped in considerable numbers in one town, as in Hartford, New Ha- ven, Stamford, Westport, Norwalk, and New Canaan, they are under the guidance of local supervisors or supervising committees but other wise work directly under MT. Wil- Hams.
 Tn the nationwide effort of the WPA to preserve the skills of thous- ands of artists, work of untold val- ue to the country as whole is be- ing accomplished", Mir. Williams stated. "The program embraces a well-rCunded plan of activity for artists of all degrees of skill and talent, from mural and easel paint CTS, sculptors, and graphic artists, to commercial and industrial de- signers."
 MT. Williams pointed to the in- terest and cooperation of hundreds of institutions throughout the cour- try-schools, colleges, hospitals, mu- seums, local and State authorities, and business and industrial organ izations, as warranting the belief that the WPA art program will go far toward laying the foundation of a renaissance of popular interest in art
