AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the creative economy through the tax code. It provides a property tax exemption of up to $1,000 for real property owned by artists who are domiciled in Massachusetts and have owned and occupied the property as their domicile or place of business for at least six months. The property must be located in an "artist enterprise zone," which can be an arts overlay district, a state-designated cultural district, or an economic development zone designated for the economic stimulus of works of art. Additionally, the bill exempts sales of original and creative works of art sold by the original artist within an artist enterprise zone from the state sales tax.
