The Phoenix Art Museum is located at the corner of McDowell Road & Central Avenue at 1625 N. Central Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. It was built in 1936 and originally christened the Phoenix Art Center. This was all the result of the New Deal initiative proposed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a way to stimulate the economy and employ millions of out-of-work Americans as well as enrich American culture. The building was constructed and funded by the government agency known as the Works Progress Administration as part of the Federal Art Project. Prior to this was the Phoenix Fine Arts Association. They had no permanent location and less than 2 dozen pieces of art to display at the private homes of the Phoenix Fine Arts Association members. It's currently designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride.
