Where the wind comes... comes... oh I can't remember the rest.
There is up in the Oklahoma legislature, Senate Bill 1347 - State of Oklahoma: Art in Public Places Act.
I met today with the head of the Oklahoma Arts Council, among other things we discussed the above mentioned bill which I will describe briefly here:
One and one-half (1 1/2%) of the cost of construction or renovation of state owned public buildings shall be allocated to incorporate artwork in, on or near the project. One percent (1%) is allocated for the commissioning of the artwork, one-half percent (1/2%) is allocated for administration of the program and maintenance of artwork.
Cost of renovation or construction must be $250,000 or more. The maximum assessment shall not exceed $500,000.
