RELATING TO THE STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The foundation administers the state art museum and the art in public places and relocatable works of art programs, using the works of art special fund created pursuant to section 103‑8.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The museum and these programs aim to support, promote, and recognize the excellence of the State's diverse artists and create, display, and maintain in public places and the state art museum a collection of works of art that represent the diversity and excellence of the State's artistic expression and provide the fullest possible access to the highest quality aesthetic and educational experiences available to all the citizens of the State.
The legislature further finds that the performing arts also represent various mediums that express creativity through singing, dancing, theatre, and musical performances. To ensure a wide range of artistic creativity and expression in the State, performing arts should also be recognized as a medium to provide Hawaii's people with creative, educational, and aesthetic performances that tell meaningful stories and provide engaging experiences.

proposals.

MUSEUM"
