Section 30-40-050 - Funding(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.

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.

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.(b) Only K-12 school districts with 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.Wash.
