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.
