Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - ARTS COUNCIL › Title 40 - NEBRASKA ARTS COUNCIL › Chapter 1 - 1% for Art Regulations › Section 40-1-001 - Purpose

Current through June 17, 2024
"The Legislature recognizes the responsibility of the state
				  to foster culture and the arts and its interest in the viable development of
				  its artists. The Legislature declares it to be the policy of this state that a
				  portion of all appropriations made after January 1, 1979, for capital
				  expenditures be set aside for the acquisition of art works to be used in public
				  buildings." (
Neb. Rev. Stat.
section
				  82-317
				  ).
Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - ARTS COUNCIL › Title 40 - NEBRASKA ARTS COUNCIL › Chapter 1 - 1% for Art Regulations › Section 40-1-002 - Definitions

Current through June 17, 2024
002.01 Project - Any new construction of a
				public building or facility including series of buildings (or additions to
				existing buildings) in excess of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), or
				remodeling or renovation of a public building in excess of two hundred and
				fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).
002.02 1% for Art - This is a required
				minimum amount of an appropriation to be used for the acquisition of works of
				art. An agency may expend more than this amount for the art work in any project
				under this law.
002.03 Public
				Buildings - State buildings and facilities used by or open to the public as
				guests or business invitees excluding repair shops, garages, warehouses, and
				buildings of a similar nature.
002.04 Project Agency - The state agency
				which has received an appropriation for a project.
002.05 1% for Art Committee - A committee
				shall be established for each project. The committee shall consist of a minimum
				of seven members, which will include the project architect, three
				representatives from the project agency, and three members selected by the
				Nebraska Arts Council. The Nebraska Arts Council's 1% for Art Administrator may
				act as one of the committee members subject to committee approval.
Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - ARTS COUNCIL › Title 40 - NEBRASKA ARTS COUNCIL › Chapter 1 - 1% for Art Regulations › Section 40-1-003 - Determinant of Amount Available for Art for the Project

Current through June 17, 2024
The formula for calculating the minimum amount to be used for
				  art is as follows: Start with the actual total amount of money set by the
				  Legislature for a public building, subtract $500,000 if the amount is for new
				  construction or $250,000 if the amount is for remodeling. From this figure,
				  subtract the amount of money spent of planning, land acquisition and the site
				  work, and multiply by one percent. The product of this calculation is to be
				  used not only for the cost of the works of art, but also to provide for
				  administration by the contracting agency, the architect, and the Nebraska Arts
				  Council and for all costs of installation of the works of art.
Once a capital construction amount is set by the Legislature,
				  the project agency will notify the Nebraska Arts Council. The Nebraska Arts
				  Council will send the 1% for Art Budget Verification Form (Attachment A) to the
				  project agency. The project agency will complete the form and send it to DAS
				  Building Division for verification. Once DAS
Building Division has confirmed the project figures, it will
				  forward the form to the Nebraska Arts Council for approval of the 1% for Art
				  budget.

				determined, the Nebraska Arts Council, in consultation with the 1% for Art
				Committee, will then determine suitable art forms, locations, and a budget,
				taking into consideration the administrative costs of the project agency, the
				Nebraska Arts Council, and the architect.
004.02 Selection Criteria - The following

				applications from individual artists:
1)
				quality of art work,
2) past

3) previous commission experience (including
				evidence of successful and timely completion of past commissions) and
4) evidence that a commissioned work of art
				can be produced for the funds available and according to the project
				timeline.

When a work is to be commissioned, the Nebraska Arts Council
				  and the project agency will first meet with the selected artist to discuss the
				  project. If no agreement can be reached, the artist may be requested to
				  resubmit alternative examples of designs for the project to the 1% for Art
				  Committee. If these designs do not meet with the approval of the 1% for Art
				  Committee and/or if the artist is unable to meet the requirements of the
				  project timeline, negotiations with the artist will be terminated. Negotiations
				  will then begin with the second most qualified artist out of the original group
				  of applicants. If an agreement cannot be reached with the second most qualified
				  artist, negotiations with that artist will be terminated and negotiations will
				  then begin with the third most qualified artist and so on. Should the Nebraska
				  Arts Council fail to negotiate a satisfactory contract with any of the selected
				  artists from the original group of applicants, the project be referred to
				  another round of selections or another method of selection may be
				  used.
