Under the sponsorship of the WPA, art workshops and community art centers were established in several African American urban communities, such as Chicago (Southside Community Art Center) and Harlem (Harlem Art Workshop and the Harlem Community Art Center). These art centers employed professionally trained artists to provide instruction to young artists who could not afford formal art lessons. Artists who gained prominence during the Harlem Renaissance, such as Augusta Savage and Aaron Douglas, became devoted teachers of the next generation of African American artists.
