(1) Calculation of funds.
(a) Pursuant to RCW 43.17.200, one-half of
one percent of the state's capital appropriation for the original construction
of specific public buildings is set aside for the administration, acquisition,
and conservation of works of art for the state art collection.
(b) Funding is generated by construction of
any new building and/or additions to an existing building or structure except
for highway construction sheds, warehouses, or other temporary buildings. In
addition, funding is generated by any renovation and remodel work exceeding two
hundred thousand dollars at universities, colleges, and community colleges.
Renovation and remodel work does not include repair, maintenance, or
replacement of building systems, such as HVAC, plumbing, wiring, fire
sprinklers, roofs, insulation, lighting, or other system that keeps the
building functional and safe.
(2) Partner agency eligibility and site
requirements of funds.
(a) All state agencies
including all state departments, boards, councils, commissions, and
quasi-public corporations; all universities, colleges, community colleges, and
technical colleges; and the office of the superintendent of public instruction
who appropriates state funding to school districts for the original
construction of school plant facilities, shall apply the formula.
(b) Works of art must be placed in public
buildings or on public lands. In siting works of art, priority is given to
state properties and K-12 public schools.
(c) Works of art may be sited in a location
other than the construction site generating the funding.
(3) Use of funds.
(a) Staff is responsible for negotiating
contracts and expending funds.
(b)
Funds may be used for works of art in the state art collection that are:
(i) Integral to or attached to a public
building or structure;
(ii)
Detached inside or outside a public building or structure;
(iii) On or part of the landscape;
(iv) Permanent or temporary;
(v) Part of a portable exhibition or
collection.
(c) Funds
may be used for expenses incurred in the design, fabrication, and installation
of works of art, artists' fees and expenses, staff administrative expenses, and
conservation.
(d) Funds shall not
be used for the partner agency's administrative expenses, architectural or
professional design services, site preparation, public event expenses,
insurance, fees for art selection committee participation, or maintenance of
the work of art.
(e) Funds shall
not be used for clock towers, electrically powered water features, memorials,
logos, signage, or the depiction of school mascots.
(4) Determination of funds. Staff shall
determine the funds that are available for projects and sites, in consultation
with the partner agency; director of general administration; directors of state
agencies; the superintendent of public instruction and school district boards
of directors; or the boards of regents or trustees of universities, colleges,
and community colleges. (RCW 43.17.210, 43.19.455, 28A.335.-210, and
28B.10.025.)
(5) Supplemental
funds. The one-half of one percent formula is a required minimum for works of
art. Partner agencies may designate additional funds from other sources. Works
of art acquired using supplemental funding become part of the state art
collection.
(6) Transfer of funds.
After project funds for works of art are determined, staff may request transfer
of the funds from the partner agency.
(7) Pooling of funds.
(a) Staff may determine that funds from
multiple construction projects may be combined as part of a pooling program or
to fund larger works of art within a partner agency.

applicable state assisted construction project funds may apply for K-12 pooled
funds.
(c) Eligible K-12 school
districts may apply for pooled funds pursuant to WAC 30-12-017 (Applications),
WAC 30-12-030 (Panels), and in accordance with published application
guidelines.
