Copyright Ownership?
I came to this article hoping to learn about copyright ownership of FAP works. Specifically a mural done for a Boy Scout Council. While this work was not in a government facility, the description posted on the wall with it says that it was a FAP project. I am trying to determine if the Council, the Federal government, or the public domain owns the reproduction rights.

An addition about current ownership of reproduction rights would be helpful. Moleskiner 12:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I realize this question is old, and I'm not sure of the answer, but for what it's worth, Image:Preservewildlifeb.jpg, which is a poster by FAP, seems to be in the public domain. &mdash; Pie4all88  T C 08:35, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

was Diego Rivera
really "supported" by the project? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * According to this and this  Rivera was an enormous inspiration to the muralists and the project. He's also listed here . I don't believe that he was paid by the project however - the murals he did during the depression seem to have been privately funded...Modernist (talk) 17:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Which is, to me, another way of saying that he does not belong on the list. i just removed him from the larger list that is linked to in the article. Carptrash (talk) 17:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I just pulled *David Siqueiros too, pending a reference. The whole list of "notable"  WPA artists needs (opinion) a bit of a going over.  "Notable" should, in my opinion, mean more than having a wikipedia article.  This is what the more complete list is for.  Carptrash (talk) 17:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Milwaukee WPA Handicraft Project Not Part of Federal Art Project
The Milwaukee Handicraft Project was not part of the Federal Art Project, or under the umbrella of Federal Project Number One. It was administered through the Division of Women's and Professional Projects, and not the Federal Art Project. I will try to find time to make these edits as there are many reputable sources documenting the Milwaukee Handicraft Project. Jannekenls (talk) 16:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
