AI Summary

This bill establishes a Massachusetts Public Arts Program (MPAP) to be administered by a public art commission. The MPAP will provide for the creation, acquisition, conservation, and maintenance of public art in or on the site of any Commonwealth-owned, managed, and occupied building, with one percent of state fund appropriations for capital improvements designated for this purpose. The commission, with members from various backgrounds, will oversee the program, including establishing a process for capital projects to apply for funding, making curatorial decisions, and promoting public access and education. The bill also requires the appointment of an MPAP coordinator to administer the program and allows the commission to coordinate with other organizations to seek alternative funding sources for public art and programming.
