Summary
The General Services Administration is proposing to cancel a federal rule that requires artwork to be included in new government buildings. This change would eliminate the requirement that a portion of construction budgets be spent on art installations, sculptures, or other cultural features in federal facilities that the public uses.
Key Points
- 1The proposed rule would eliminate the 'Art in Architecture' program, which currently requires federal buildings to include artwork as part of their design
- 2Under the current rule, approximately 0.5% of construction budgets for new federal buildings must be allocated to commissioned art projects
- 3If rescinded, federal agencies would no longer be required to include artworks in government building projects, potentially saving money in construction budgets
- 4The change would affect new federal courthouse buildings, office complexes, and other public facilities funded by the government
- 5This is a proposed rule, meaning there is a public comment period before a final decision is made
