CT Commission on Culture and Tourism

The State Arts Agency (part of the Commission on Culture and Arts) aids in determining the artist, type and specific location of the artwork and the allocation of the State Buildings Works of Art account expenditures.

Public Art in CT-State Statute

Section 1. Section 4b-53 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2008):

(b) The State Bond Commission, in the allocation of proceeds of state bonds for purposes of construction, reconstruction or remodeling of any state building, shall allocate for works of art, with respect to each such project and for the purposes of subsection (c) of this section, an amount from such proceeds not less than one per cent of the total estimated cost of such construction, reconstruction or remodeling, exclusive of (1) the cost of any land acquisition, (2) any nonconstruction costs including the cost of such work of art, and (3) any augmentations to such cost, provided any such allocation for work of art as provided in this section must be approved, prior to authorization of such allocation by the State Bond Commission, by the Commissioner of Public Works in consultation with the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism. Such allocation may be used to reimburse any artist, artisan, craftsperson or person who creates a work of art, for proposal development expenses when the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism requests such proposal development or to compensate persons who, at the request of the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism determine whether such works of art require proposal development.
