Art in Architecture, (sometimes styled Art-in-Architecture) a program of the General Services Administration, oversees the creation of art in American federal buildings that launched in 1962.
The art commissioned and selected is funded through the reserving of half a percent of the projected construction costs.
[2][3] Richard Serra's Tilted Arc was a controversial installation under this program, whose guidelines sometimes change between Presidential administrations.
[4][5] In 2020, the Trump administration enacted a rule for works commissioned through the program.
The controversial rule required works to depict "historically significant Americans or events" or illustrate ideals that the country was founded upon.
