Art and Design Survival Guide

1% for Art - Campus Locations

The Nebraska legislative mandate called "One Percent for Art" requires that new construction or renovation of any state-funded building must allocate 1% of costs to the purchase of artwork. For many years, buildings on campus have shown artwork purchased through this fund. There is now a move to increase public sculpture on campus, the selection of which is done through a One Percent for Art Committee in consultation with the Nebraska Arts Council with public forums.
