The Maine Percent for Art law<\/a> was enacted in 1979 to provide for art in public buildings. Under the law, an amount equal to one percent of the construction budget is set aside to purchase original works of art for new or renovated buildings receiving state funds. In the case of public schools, a maximum of $50,000 may be used for art purchases.<\/p>\n\n
