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, with one percent of state funds for capital improvements designated for this purpose. The Commission will be responsible for managing the program, including establishing funding criteria, identifying opportunities and locations for art, making curatorial decisions, and promoting public access and education. The bill also outlines the composition of the Commission, which will include representatives from relevant state agencies, educational institutions, and the arts community. The Commonwealth will own the artwork acquired through the MPAP, and the program will prioritize artists residing in Massachusetts.
