Series IV: Other Projects, 1970-1986, inclusive

Scope and Contents

This series contains records and photographs documenting Rousseau's involvement with various other projects in New York City during the 1970s and 1980s. Some of these projects were part of the CETA Program, which was designed to provide jobs for unemployed artists. The CETA Program was funded under the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and administered by the Cultural Council Foundation Artists Project in New York.

There are also records, including photos, interview transcripts, and model releases, from a project about children experiencing homelessness. This was an independent project of Rousseau's which ended when she could not secure funding.
