AI Summary
This bill establishes a Massachusetts Percent for Arts Program (MPAP) to be administered by a public art commission. The MPAP will allocate 1% of state funding for new capital construction projects towards the creation, conservation, and maintenance of public art. The commission will oversee the program, including establishing funding criteria, reviewing projects, making curatorial decisions, and promoting public access and education about the art installations. The commission will consist of representatives from various state agencies and organizations, and an MPAP coordinator will be appointed to manage the program's implementation. The bill also gives preference to Massachusetts-based artists and maintains state ownership of the acquired artwork, while allowing the artists to retain copyrights.
